I then pursued my master’s in Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in 2019. My career has focused on assisting first-generation college students of color, as well as supporting current and formerly incarcerated youth and adults. I am eager to start my role and serve you and your scholar.”
