Today it was announced that I’ll be leaving my post at @EdTrustWest and will be the managing director at @utdanacenter. This was tough, but COVID has shown us life happens quickly. Ultimately, the call to advance math equity and to be close to family was what felt right.

In 2018, nearly 40% of schools had 0 seniors enrolled in advanced math!

"More than 200k students left high school w/o the benefit of any advanced math. These students were more likely to be Black, Latino and low income than students taking advanced math"
