About Me

Bio

Former elementary school professional, current Rotary Global Grant recipient, and Fulbright alternate scholar pursuing a masters of research (MRes) in philosophy at the University of Reading (UK). I act as a teacher and mentor to my students and I have assisted over 200 primary scholars in achieving their data goals for their education and state tests. As a Teach For America corps member alumnus, I am making use of my passions for social issues, grassroots politics, analytics, and debate to ensure my scholars’ destinies are not a byproduct of their zip codes or other factors outside of their control. I successfully pursued this goal through building relationships with my students and their families and ensuring my scholars take control of their education, while simultaneously lobbying for more educational opportunities for my students in the state and federal legislatures. As a corps member with the Uplift system, I initiated, created, and headed the Mighty Debaters Debate Team, a competitive academic primary cohort dedicated to improving reading, writing, research, and speaking skills while incorporating STAAR tested skills and improving social skills and confidence. In addition, I also co-lead the Junior Beta Club, an organization working to place scholars in leadership roles while setting them up financially and professionally for college and the global world. We are the only primary debate team and Beta club in the entire Uplift network. My work with these scholars accounted for the highest growth in the Uplift district and the third best scores in the district. Recently, I completed a Master’s of Research in philosophy student at the University of Reading, where my work and research focuses on artificial intelligence, the death penalty, and immigration and citizenship. Currently, I am preparing to apply to law school and am looking to pursue a JD and be a constitutional lawyer, where I aim to defend and shield our country from unconstitutional legislation. I also have interests in consulting and policy analytics and sitting on boards.
