Who says educators can't be superheroes too? Join us as we pull back the curtain on the life of Andrea Miller, a first-generation Jamaican American educator, passionately reshaping young minds at the South Atlanta School of Law and Social Justice and beyond.

Her perspective on STEM and STEAM education and the entrepreneurial venture she undertook during the pandemic will inspire and enlighten you.
Navigating the world of STEM education can be challenging, and it's not a journey one can or should embark on alone. Andrea shares her knowledge on the need for collaboration across the board - students, parents, educators, industry, government entities, and funders - to ensure success and increase representation of historically underrepresented students in STEM. Tune in to hear the challenges faced by educational leaders in making a significant impact in a community with limited resources and the crucial importance of firsthand classroom experience for policy-making.

Andrea reveals the importance of allocating and utilizing funds responsibly in the education sector and the motivation that drives those in the field. Learn about the need to outsource tasks requiring specialized skills and how proper financial management can lead to more efficient and effective learning environments. This episode is not to be missed for anyone invested in the future of education. Listen in and get inspired, and who knows, you might pick up a few strategies along the way.
