As a paraprofessional at Northshore Academy, I joined the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when the country was experiencing social unrest. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is so important to me as a biracial woman in the workplace and in my personal life. I strongly believe that our students can achieve academic success when they feel they are safe, supported, and included despite their differences. I look forward to helping NEC and other organizations continue to support students of all races, disabilities, sexual orientation, and gender!
