CLASSROOM & OUTREACH EXPERIENCE____________________________________________________________________________

Summary: I have had the privilege of working in several different school sites and hence, an array of school cultures. Primarily as a math tutor and
classroom aide, it was eye-opining to whiteness the similarities and differences in the struggles students, parents, and teachers as they try to work
together through natural turbulence (caused by conflicting goals and perspectives) in order to do what is best for the student. From these experiences, I
have learned that the most important key to success are: empathy to a different perspective, openness and objectiveness in considering alternatives,
and an understanding of how to be the glue that holds all the moving pieces together in order to arrive at effective solutions.

Summary: These internship experiences allowed me to be

part of work cultures that are high-performing, highexpectation and require strong decorum and professional
development skills. These experiences also reinforced the
need to meet deadlines, produce quality work, and maintain
a high level of respect for all fellow coworkers. Also, I have
gained a valuable insight and know-how on how to generate
policy and navigate the political process to make change.
