Q & A

Why did you decide to join Teach For America?

In 30 years, what is the story I want to tell about my life? I wanted to say I spent time giving back to a cause I really care about.

How do you continue to support educational equity in your current career?

The show [I worked on] promotes something really important in [this] country—civic discourse around multiple sides of an issue. It’s the way that I promote the spirit of TFA, bringing awareness to so many important issues that impact education.

What do you wish people knew about Teach For America?

TFA exists because there is a very important need. Learning how to see the world through other people’s eyes—seeing through the eyes of students—is such a big part of being a teacher.
