Nisha, we’re delighted to have you on HRTech Cube! Could you please start by sharing your professional journey and how it led you to your current role as VP at InStride?
My professional journey has been fueled by a deep belief in the transformative power of education. I began my career working directly with underserved students, first as a science teacher in South Los Angeles and then as an assistant principal at a new charter school in St. Louis. I witnessed firsthand the barriers many Americans face in accessing high-quality education, as well as what’s possible when those barriers are removed. These experiences solidified my conviction that education is often the key to lifting people out of poverty.
