Favorite TFA Memory: My favorite TFA memory is Institute. My Institute roommate and I remain extremely close. The energy produced at Institute, by the hundreds of young people who were dedicating their professional and personal lives to educational equity, was extremely inspiring.

How has TFA impacted you: Teach For America changed my entire career trajectory. As a fourth-year in college, I was prepared for a career in architecture and urban planning. I thank Teach For America for encouraging me and leading me into a fulfilling career, working day in and day out to make positive changes in the lives of children.
