What excites you about being part of the Pathwaves Fellowship? What are you hoping to gain from the experience?
I am excited to learn and understand more about advocacy and policy. I’m a roaring ball of fire and I just love advocating for others. I hope to gain more insight on how I can change the world for all the BIPOC kids and families. I hope to gain better leadership skills, more legislative understanding, media training, and a larger networking branch. I want my son to see my footprint in the change that people of color need to see.
Share a little about your journey and why you are excited about early childhood policy work.
I was a Montessori pre- k teacher for 15 years. I started at the bottom and worked my way up to lead teacher and I love education. Teaching has always been a fun experience for me because I learn so much from my students. They challenged me everyday to become a better teacher and person in general. Policy work in ECE is so critical and people need the awareness of how important 0-5 years are for children. We should be pouring into these young children, and making sure that they know they can succeed!
What are you looking forward to doing at your placement site?
I’m looking forward to learning more content, creating more avenues to reach children of color.
What are two things that most people don’t know about you?
- I’m really shy.
- I love taking naps.
