Since graduating from SFDS in 2006, she has earned a B.A in secondary education from St. Xavier University, a Masters in Education Leadership from Aurora University, and is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Aurora University. She is a first-generation South Chicago kid that “ was blessed to have been raised to believe that the only limitations that exist are the ones that you set for yourself.” This is what she wants to instill in today’s pioneers — a sincere belief that with hard work they can rise to any height.
