How has education changed your life/your family?

My experiences as a first-generation college student motivated me and shaped my work as a higher education professional. Drawing from my cultural upbringing and indigenous ways of knowing, I find that the lessons of being humble, to listen, respect, and show up for others is key to being a change agent.
