Why are you in this work?

I’ve seen firsthand how education shapes lives and communities. Using my marketing and communication skills to support that mission feels like a way I can contribute meaningfully, helping to share stories that inspire and connect people to important opportunities.

Why ESG?

ESG’s dedication to equity and thoughtful approaches to education really resonate with me. I want to be a part of a group that doesn’t just talk about change but works carefully and intentionally to make education better for everyone, ESG is that.
