"I am a firm believer that a

person’s life can positively

change from receiving a quality

education. I see my role as one

that helps teachers and schools

achieve a higher quality of

education than previously.

Not only does my current position

at CAS allow me to support and

work with the amazing teachers

here, but also I am able to

implement curricular changes

that both enrich and innovate

student learning.

I started at CAS in 2016 after

completing my Master’s of

Education in International
Rachel Marie Disbrow Educational Development at the

Enrichment Specialist. University of Pennsylvania.

Before that, I had worked for two years in South

Korea as an English teacher before going to Guatemala City in 2013. It

was while working at UPAVIM (a woman’s cooperative with health and

educational programs) as the After School Program Coordinator that I

realized it was not teaching that was my passion, but helping students,

through their teachers and curricula, to receive a high quality

education that not only teaches

them, but inspires and challenges them.

While I always have and will enjoy teaching, I decided to

pursue a Master’s. This degree has allowed me to have larger impact in

the world of education by being able to help the teachers to reach their

own potential, and in turn, give opportunities for the

students to reach their own potential."
