Connect with Liz
I changed careers from law to education because I believe that every student, everywhere, every day deserves a great education and a great teacher! As a first-generation college graduate and a person of color, I am thankful that an educator saw my potential and opened my eyes to the importance of an education. As a teacher for predominantly English language learners, I saw firsthand how I made a difference in students’ lives by being an effective educator. Public Impact’s mission of dramatically improving education for students of color and for students whose needs historically have not been well met drew me to this position.”
