How has education changed your life/your family?
My family embraced reading and had strong work ethics. Exposure to school sparked my interests and desire to learn. In high school I enjoyed math coursework and considered pursuing a college degree as a math teacher. As a first-generation college student, education provided opportunities to develop passions for learning, data analysis, and helping others through teaching and mentoring roles.
