## About

```text
At The University of Texas at Austin, I built and scaled externally funded outreach and educator programs, managing university-faculty and K-12 partnerships as I progressed from Undergraduate Coordinator to Director of Outreach and Public Programs. I scaled a refugee mentoring program from 1 to 20+ sites and designed a national fellowship for 20 educators each year across 5+ cities.

As a consultant to Qatar Foundation International, I designed and managed a national educator leadership program spanning U.S. school systems and international education networks. I’m currently a Licensed Mental Health Professional at Austin Independent School District, where I design systems and programming to support student engagement and access to academic opportunities.
