Q & A
How has your corps experience prepared you for a career in business?
There is no better preparation for any career. I learned to analyze data, work autonomously, hold myself accountable for results, and improvise when needed. I developed a strong belief in human potential.
Are you still involved in improving education at this stage of your career?
I have the autonomy in my current role to be able to spend time working with charter schools in New Orleans to improve how they operate and help kids in my hometown get a great education.
What surprised you most about your TFA experience?
You go in hoping to make a profound impact on students. And that is definitely true. But the flip side is, the life that is probably changed the most is yours. My students are always with me.
