"I believe that education empowers everyone from all backgrounds. I want to be apart of the empowerment cycle and help my students develop into the best versions of themselves. I wanna leave my mark on the world and leave knowing that I protected the future for those who are marginalized and preserved the future for my descendants... I want to know that I helped students from all backgrounds go to college and/or get into a career that they love. "
