Profession: Educational Consultant and Trainer

Fellowship Track:  Non-Profit Organization Leadership/Political Advisor

Motivation: Each of my activities has one major goal:  to increase Arizona’s ability to educate its children so that more students are successful in school and our graduation rate is increased.  We also need to provide an excellent teaching environment in order to attract and maintain great teachers in order to create the best possible learning environment for students.

As Abbie Hoffman said, “You can go to the wailing wall and complain, or you can organize.
