Being the child of a professor has provided me a pedestal of high privilege when it comes to the academic world. Unfortunately, too many people are robbed around the world of even the most basic education whether that be due to governmental tyranny like young women banned from attending school or economic crises such as energy shortages preventing students from attending class. Thus, while people like me flourish through the privileges of the highest echelons of academia, most of the world often lack even the building blocks of freeing themselves from the shackles of their socioeconomic conditions through education. Such injustices find themselves even in formal academic settings as well where opportunities like research are often constrained to those from stronger economic backgrounds or with family backgrounds in academia.

My work is focused on reducing the disparity in the educational world through creating greater opportunities in countries around the world  and creating outreach programs to perpetuate how to succeed in regards to education. For me, what is most important is creating true equality of opportunity when it comes to education and giving back to others what I have been fortunate to receive myself. In doing so, we can build a flourishing network that will eliminate other injustices like gender inequality and perpetuate global peace.
