"After my corps commitment, I wanted to support our mission on a broader level. And, as a designer I am able to do this every day. My position allows me to facilitate teachers’ development and growth by coming up with solutions to national questions around teaching and learning."
This role allows me to work with both internal and external champions of our movement. I see first-hand the work corps members are doing in the classroom and the impact our alumni are having in Baltimore. I also get to work closely with influential people around the community who have made our cause their cause. I am inspired by both every day.
