Why this Work is Important To Me
I have loved ones very close to me who are part of the LD and ND communities, and I saw firsthand some of the struggles, stigmas, and challenges they faced as students and as working adults. As an educator, I saw the unequal access to educational opportunities within the schools I worked with, and the need for change at an institutional level to get all students the support they need to see success. I am passionate about being part of a mission that advocates for leadership, community, and support for the young learners of today.
