“Throughout my career, I have been an outside observer to the many challenges that states, districts and schools face in transforming public education in our nation. I decided to pursue The Broad Residency so that I could have a more direct impact on urban public education. I look forward to a meaningful career committed to increasing educational achievement and equity in our schools.”
