1. What does a typical day at your job look like?

I am on a small team focused on the prevention of identity-based mass violence, so I am usually working on various projects at once.

Some days, I coordinate with partner organizations to plan events or edit commissioned papers. Other days are filled with convening virtual or in-person discussions with civil society leaders, academics, and policymakers from around the world.

1. What do you do?

I am a first grade dual immersion teacher at Dual Immersion Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah. My school employs a 90/10 immersion model in first grade, so I teach my first-grade class primarily in Spanish, with the other 10% of the school day being English instruction. Although things can get a little crazy with 26 first graders, I make sure students are engaged, learning, and safe and employ best practices in my teaching of the core curriculum and second language acquisition.
