“Since graduating from Rollins, I helped the Read2Succeed Foundation for Orange County Public Schools improve the reading level of first- and second-graders. I also created my own project through Instagram to create content and help Spanish-speaking families navigate the distance-learning process. That initiative opened opportunities to share my experience in local media outlets and gain my current teaching position.”
