I'm Char, a queer, Mexican-American writer and artist who graduated from Wellesley College in 2012 with a degree in French and Women's Studies. I've tutored at-risk youth with City Year in San Antonio, Texas. I've taught math and science at Brooke Charter School in Boston, Massachusetts. I am passionate about leveraging the power of education as a tool for social mobility, and I aspire to be a professional travel writer one day.
