Manager, Recruitment, Teach for America (TFA)
I grew up in a predominantly white and very conservative town in rural Wisconsin where I received access to a great education propelling me into a university that was still pretty representative of my hometown. After graduating in 2015, I joined Teach For America knowing I wanted to make a difference and through this experience, I've gained leadership skills while also building conviction to fight against inequitable policies and systems that perpetually oppress students from low-income backgrounds and in particular, the under-represented AANHPI students and communities.
