Last week, I solidified my plans for the next few years. I accepted the position of Development Manager for TFA in Las Vegas!It will definitely be a tough job (I'll be charged with raising $1.8 million for the operating budget next year!), but it'll be extremely exciting and will provide me with an incredible amount of strong leadership experience.
I'm so excited to be a direct part of growing the program in the Las Vegas Valley. They currently have 100 corps members (to Houston's 350) and a very impressive growth plan. It's incredible to think that I'll be a crucial link to meeting these growth goals over the next few years.
Don't worry, law school is still a definite, just not right now. I'd like to gain another 2 or 3 years of experience in education, this time from outside the classroom and on the cutting edge of education reform. This will give me a wider range of experience to draw from as I begin to enact policy changes one day.
For now, I'm just excited about the potential that awaits in Vegas (the potential for good things, that is).
