Brief Biographical Sketch:

I've been teaching and tutoring for years now. Every summer or break I get, I have gone back home to teach the ACT/SAT to students in Alabama. I have taught as an independent entrepreneur as well as a teacher and branch-manager for a company called Ivy Insiders. However, over the past year and a half I have gotten involved in the anti-trafficking movement at Harvard. I am the rising co-president of Harvard College for Free the Slaves and this summer I will be staying in Cambridge to do research on the trafficking route from China to Boston. I have been very blessed in my endeavors because Harvard College for Free the Slaves has allowed me to unite my original passion for education with my new earnestness to end modern-day slavery. At Harvard, Free the Slave's mission is to bridge the gap between the community of practicing abolitionists and academia. This past year we researched the work of these abolitionists and created a cross-disciplinary curriculum which incorporated a the historical background of slavery with the contemporary laws, health policies, social movements, and business practices involving trafficking. This curriculum was accepted into the Sociology department and will be taught by Professor Orlando Patterson in the Spring of 2011. This summer I want to modify this curriculum to be taught in a summer course for high school students. This will benefit students by showing them how education has many paths (law, health policy, business, etc.) and that there is a lot of good you can do in the world by using classroom lessons in the real world.
