My Educational Journey
I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, where I majored in History and Religious Studies. There, I met many great friends and followed the dream of teaching, wanting to give back to society.
After graduating, I went on to pursue multiple Master's degrees. First, I attended the Harvard Graduate School of Education to pursue my Master of Education in Risk and Prevention, which turned out to be one of the most memorable and foundational experiences for my professional career. Then I attended UNLV, earning a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction and then a Master of Arts in Urban Education and Leadership. I worked as an educator and district official for over 10 years thanks to the connections and knowledge I gained through all these programs.
However, during and after my education career, I fell in love with technology and was inspired by the need to apply my strengths to online learning, especially during the hard COVID-19 lockdown. Over the past five-plus years, I have worked as a Product Marketing Manager, earning multiple professional certifications to expand and enhance my experiences and skillset.
