Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Spanish but wasn’t quite sure what to do with that.
2.
While in college, I intended to spend a summer as a Spanish translator but ended up taking over teaching a first grade class instead—I knew then that I wanted to build my career around education.
3.
My first official job after college was with Teach for America, where I worked as a public school teacher for title I schools.
4.
I spent five years teaching and then transitioned to work for Teach for America as a coach for first and second year public school teachers.
5.
During that time, I also went back to school to earn my master’s degree in educational leadership.
6.
I now work as the executive director for Small Magic, an organization that makes sure kids under age five get the very best from the very beginning of their lives.
