Can I let you in on a secret? Its a bit scandalous..

I've been feeling meh lately.

I've been yearning for more, even though, I loved the thought of the dream I had intended to live out; educating those around me. It seemed like an appropriate dream given the Bachelors & Masters of Arts in Education I obtained. Nevertheless, this flame began to dull.

And that's when it happened; the spark that had been missing ignited the moment I had to adapt professionally, while maintaining a personal well being in the mist of a whirlwind, unprecedented global pandemic. It was then that I had to examine and depart from the business as usual ways of being a professional.

With the drop of a dime, this prompt shut down required the ability to attend to many multi-facet problems and address inequities head on. And I can't get enough of these challenges that requires both passion, and continuous learning, combined with the innovation, and analyzation of systems, policies, and legislation.

Since then, it has kept me on my toes to continue to purse a more just, inclusive, and accessible world, while simltautiouemsly challenging oppressive systems. It's oddly satisfying, but without a doubt, challenging. It's very similar to the kind of person I am; adaptable, innovative with a sense of being grounded.

I am a servant leader with the capabilities to quickly learn, advocate, analyze and innovate to address complex problems whilst keeping the core of relationship building, and lived experiences to humanize abstract concepts. Thus far, I have demonstrate the ability public speak, facilitate professional learning, work in partnership with array of stakeholders, negotiate on behalf of others, develop documentation and policies, co-author and secure grants. I'm looking forward to enthusiastically walking into the next chapter of my professional career that will further this growth.
