Why I’m an Emcee
AVID has been a great part of my leadership journey and has seen me through significant milestones with transforming a school. It creates real tangible results for students and educators. Being an Emcee at AVID Summer Institute is my way of giving back for all the wonderful lessons and experiences I have had throughout my AVID journey. During a time where things have become more challenging in schools, I want to inspire educators to continue to use AVID to stay the course and close the opportunity gap for every student.
