I aim to empower individuals and communities through education, equity, and opportunity. I am dedicated to breaking down barriers, fostering inclusion, and creating pathways to success for underserved populations, including first-generation college students, domestic violence survivors, and individuals with past challenges. By leveraging strategic partnerships, innovative solutions, and a commitment to lifelong learning, I aim to inspire transformational change that uplifts lives and strengthens communities. 

Everyone has untapped potential, and education is the most powerful catalyst for unlocking it. My philosophy is centered on the idea that inclusivity, diversity, and equity are not just values but essential building blocks for a just and thriving society. I approach every challenge with a growth mindset, believing that anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness with the right support and opportunities. My work is guided by the principle that we rise by lifting others, and through shared effort, we can create a future where everyone has the chance to succeed.
