The decision to join Teach For America has profoundly impacted my life. By dedicating myself to expanding opportunities for students, I have found purpose and personal growth. Through organizational and community leadership, I have gained a new perspective on life and am more committed than ever to using education to create a more equitable world.
While my career in nonprofit and educational equity work is vital, being a parent is an inseparable part of who I am. Though I didn’t always have a strong family influence, mentors and teachers have provided me with the support and encouragement that I hope family would. As a father, my top priority is to instill in my children the values of confidence, ambition, and love, along with a deep commitment to creating a fairer society. Beyond my work at TFA, I devote my time to raising my kids to embody the organization’s fundamental mission of advancing justice through action.
