Summary

My journey has been driven by a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children and families, especially those in underprivileged areas. Through my academic pursuits and previous hands-on experience working directly with kids in underserved communities, I've developed a strong understanding of the unique challenges they face in their educational journeys. I'm excited to connect with like-minded professionals and explore opportunities to contribute to the field of educational consulting while championing equitable access to education for all.
