Throughout my undergrad experience I gravitated towards educational activism and restorative youth justice in academic spaces. I finished with my Bachelors in History with a minor in Urban Education, choosing to follow the career path of teaching high school history. I spent my postgrad years developing my understanding of educational practices and pedagogy through teaching in high schools and earning my M.Ed/ CA Single Subject Social Studies Teaching credential.

During that time I  had to adapt to a variety of circumstances from starting the pandemic as a student myself to actually teaching online/hybrid and transitioning back into the classroom. These events demanded that I develop fast-thinking and creative problem solving skills. It also pushed me to refine my abilities in bridging my social-emotional tools of team management with my functionality and efficiency driven development of curriculum.
