Q&A
Why did you join TFA?
Growing up in inner-city Detroit, I was incredibly blessed to have a series of teachers who cared deeply about me and my education. Because of their hard work and dedication, I was afforded opportunities I otherwise would not have had. Joining TFA was my small attempt to have a similar impact on other inner-city children.
What is your favorite TFA memory?
Some of my favorite memories stem from the camaraderie I experienced with other TFA cohort members. We debated the efficacy of educational policies, lamented conditions at our schools, and we generally supported each other.
How has TFA impacted you?
TFA set me on a path toward a continued contribution to the education reform movement. Although I did spend some time in the private sector after TFA, my experience as a teacher instilled in me a passion for the work that ultimately brought me back to education.
