What's your current occupation? (i.e. Student, Scientist, Coach, In transition, etc.): ELA Middle School Teacher.
Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: Outgoing, I am very friendly, and high energy.
What are you passionate about?: I am passionate about teaching. I love what I do. I want to help my students achieve their dreams. Teaching is often seem as an underrated career, but I chose it because I want to make a difference in my student’s lives.
What does the representation of Scholars of Color mean to you?: The representation of scholars of color means being a voice for those who don’t speak up. Being a teacher from a low income community has taught me that there is so much potential, but so little opportunities for students from communities where I come from. I want to be an inspiration and show my kids that anything it’s possible. If they really want it, then they can have it. I want to do so many things and I am working towards the, that’s what I want my kids to see, that no matter how hard or how long it takes, if you work hard you can reach all of your dreams.
