I am passionate about education and expanding educational opportunities for all students. It was this passion that led me to become a 10th Grade English teacher for two years in a public school in Miami-Dade. I worked on both writing and reading with my students.

Prior to that, I have experience working as an English tutor throughout college for a range of ages. I received my bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Manchester and shortly after completed a master's degree in Gender Studies and Law at SOAS, University of London. My professional experiences have taken me to the UN and other policy focused organizations. I have a lot of experience working on a diverse range of research topics.
