With nearly 15 years of dedicated service to education, my journey has been defined by a passion for fostering intellectual curiosity and empowering students to excel in math, engineering, and computer science. Having served as an educator at the secondary level, I witnessed the transformative impact of quality education on young minds. Now, as a proud member of the Maryland State Department of Education, my commitment to educational excellence has expanded to influence systemic change. In this role, I actively contribute to shaping educational policies and initiatives that propel Maryland's students towards a future driven by innovation and technological prowess. Beyond my official responsibilities, I remain deeply invested in the academic success of students, particularly in Baltimore, where I engage in tutoring activities. This hands-on involvement allows me to bridge the gap between policy and practice, ensuring that every student, regardless of background, has access to the tools and knowledge necessary for success. My multifaceted experience reflects a holistic dedication to the advancement of education, and I am excited about the continued journey of positively impacting the lives of students in the great state of Maryland.
