Cecilia grew up in Wellesley, MA and is a proud alumnus of Boston College (go Eagles!). She was an avid soccer player through high school and walked on to the BC Women’s Rowing Team. While at BC, Cecilia studied abroad in Florence, volunteered with the Samaritan’s Crisis Hotline, founded the Boston College Policy Council, and won the Donald S. Carlisle Award for Outstanding Achievement in Political Science. After college, she chose to join Teach For America in New Orleans out of a fundamental belief that all students deserve a high-quality education that affords them a life of choice. Cecilia loves to cook (and eat!), explore the city by foot, and spend time with her family and friends.
