As one of the first generation college students in my family, I knew first hand how public education might bring tremendous impacts that change lives for the better. As I had the opportunity to come to the United States for higher education, I further experienced how quality education had broadened my horizon. I strongly believe in SCOPE’s mission to advance high-quality, equitable education systems for all children in the United States and abroad. Working at SCOPE allows me to indirectly support SCOPE to make meaningful education accessible and possible for every child in the world.
