With a strong passion for advancing equitable access to quality education and a background rooted in both classroom teaching and leadership development, I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to your organization’s initiatives.

Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s in Education, specializing in educational policy and leadership. This program has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of curriculum design, inclusive pedagogies, and leadership strategies that promote diversity and access.
