“I am extremely excited for the opportunity to join Surge. What truly inspired me to pursue this opportunity was the encouragement and testimonials from colleagues and friends that I respect and admire. As I began to learn more about Surge, it felt like the right fit for me at this point in my career and my life. I hope to become empowered and grow as myself and as a leader so that I can better help, support, and, in turn, empower our marginalized people and communities. As a School Counselor and educator for several years, serving the communities I have lived in throughout my life, I see the need for positive change now more than ever.”
