"Serving the youth of Philadelphia in education is my life’s work because access to a high-quality education is a social justice imperative. My Pickett students, and all students in Philadelphia, deserve love AND outcomes in their schools. I am honored to be a Neubauer Fellow and will bring all of the learning afforded to me back to Pickett to ensure my students receive a world-class education in a loving, empowering environment."
