Are you or someone you know receiving a college diploma this #graduationseason? 📷
I would love to speak with you this week for a story on celebrations across the U.S. I'm reachable at [email protected] or through DM on most socials!
Using my superpowers to help those helping children is one of my favorite things. Being able to share that experience with my littles? A dream! Appreciate the amazing leaders and partners who championed the opportunity for me to have Norah and Jamie join me last week! #momlife
Our partners at Teach for America California hosted a press conference last week to highlight their Ignite tutor program, which will benefit 3rd graders in the Bay Area.
Our VP @MissMurtagh was onsite – along with a pair of future LC interns(?) – to provide support (+ snacks)!

This! When your PR partner is trying to explain to you why we need to be concise… it’s this. If you want coverage, you have to understand the real constraints of reporters. Help the reporter out!

Always love working with @cheymumph who is thoughtful in how she approaches families and brings to life bigger challenges within education. As a mom with an incoming TKer, I'm particularly interested in this. Also, love seeing how this law has grown. Great work, @joesimitian.
Investments that California and other states have made in public preschool, including #transitionalkindergarten, have helped many parents through a #childcarecrisis. But many parents say the programs don’t work for their families. My latest for @AP:

I was schooled big time on the tremendous effort, skill, and work it takes to boost achievement at a struggling school. It is astonishing. I loved visiting this school. Tune into the story tomorrow on @CPRNews I will thread it here when posted. The radio part's fun. @Pueblo_D60
