Public school teachers for nearly 30 years, with the last several years at College Track. Has taught in rural, suburban, and urban environments. This NOLA experience helped me thrive at College Track. She gets to see the work that schools are putting in for all students. She also sees the inequities that exist as well. Experiences and exposure differences have shined through. Partner more closely with schools.
