My interest in education....

My academic and intellectual inspirations derive from the work of Dr. Asa Hilliard, III. His battle to define education through academic excellence manifested by content mastery, student engagement, and community responsibility enlivens my sentiments to community service. Our educational system is facing a crisis and its time for a responsible educational revolution to emerge. Though Dr. Hilliard has passed, I am encouraged, as an act of reverence and responsibility, to battle for innovative education.
