San Francisco Public Schools

I was born and raised around the corner from Carver. My children attended Carver, and for the past 16 years I have worked there where I take care of the students and staff. I love all of it.

I was a student at Spring Valley, so it’s nice to come back to the community where I grew up and learn from the families that are now here.

We are able to build relationships with students at such a crucial time in their lives where they need guidance and support to step into their futures.

Learning a new language is about connecting people.

San Francisco public schools taught me how to carve out my own piece of the tech boom - Kids should know: I can do this and I don't have to change...I can show up wholeheartedly.

I grew up surrounded by teachers, but doing my internship at Stevenson Elementary made me want to be a teacher - I liked how much I could learn from kids, grow patience with them, and see them grow

One of the reasons I’ve been at Muir for 13 years is that the community really cares for each other and has a positive energy.

The best part about going to school in SFUSD was meeting people of so many different cultures and experiencing diversity in the classroom.

I really like math and decided to take both Geometry and Algebra II in the same year, which has helped me practice how to multi-task.

My experiences in high school fueled my passion to support others and helped me discover potential career paths aligning with community empowerment.

Being a part of a unique and inclusive cohort challenged me to aim for the stars within the classroom while always practicing self-introspection.

My teachers and counselors have been great resources for me to get support and keep track of my progress.
