Biography

I was raised by my aunt and uncle in a small town in the northeast corner of Tennessee. Throughout my childhood, I developed a growing interest in the world beyond my tight-knit community. I tailored my undergraduate studies to create an interdisciplinary education that explored subjects in international politics, language-learning, economics, world history, and human rights. During my undergraduate years and subsequent experiences as a Gilman scholar in Chile and a Fulbright grantee in Galicia, Spain, I deepened my understanding of the crucial role that education equity plays in society and the economy. As a first-generation student, I understand firsthand the transformative potential of education in personal and professional growth. Through research and classroom instruction at Cambridge, I aspire to delve into the development and implementation of policies that advance equity and inclusivity within educational systems. I am deeply honored to become a part of the Gates Cambridge community and am excited about collaborating with other young minds committed to driving global change in their respective fields.
