I believe every child should have every opportunity available to be able to learn as much as possible. Reading helped me out of poverty and I want to give back.
As a minority and first generation college graduate, it’s important to highlight these stories.
We spearhead a LGBTQA+ Pride organization that emphasizes the inclusion of all people in every aspect of community life.
My teaching professional goal is to do better by our students to bring literature that reflects who they are and where they come from. My students deserve to be represented through literature and deserve to see their cultures and who they are represented in positive lights. We can do better!

I want to help people in my community celebrate diversity and learn about other cultures.
