One of the things that I pride myself on is helping people to understand the way in which education impacts everything else, whether it’s economics, politics. Individuals who are educated are more politically active; they’re advancing into the middle class and beyond. And I think sometimes people underestimate and devalue the important role that education plays in every aspect of uplift. And so I hope to bring that aspect to the work.
