Hi everyone, and thank you for taking a moment to read this.

As many of you know, I spent just over a decade as a Special Education and Early Childhood educator—years that deeply shaped who I am, how I lead, and the way I show up for students. Teaching K–2 and supporting young learners with diverse needs taught me the importance of advocacy, compassion, and strong, student-centered leadership.

In recent years, I’ve shifted into higher education, where I get to support students in a whole new way. As I continue this work, my goal is to bridge my K–12 experience with the college environment—bringing a holistic, developmentally informed, and equity-driven lens to the work I do every day.

To take the next step in that journey, I’ve been pursuing my Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership. I’m now approaching the final stages of the program, and this degree will allow me to expand my impact, strengthen my practice, and open new doors for serving students and future educators.

I’m reaching out with humility and gratitude to ask for help covering the remaining tuition for my fall and spring semesters. Any contribution—big or small—will help me finish what I’ve started and move forward with this work that I care deeply about.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and belief in me. It means more than I can express.
