Emilio Luna
Master of Arts Student in Education, admitted Summer 2024
BioMy name is Emilio, and I am a Masters of Arts candidate in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. I began teaching as a way to spend my gap year before matriculating into medical school, but quickly became aware of the flaws of the education system that currently make equity in education unattainable. I quickly fell in love with the rewarding feeling of serving my community, who has historically been underserved as a result of the shortcomings of the public education system. Because of this, I developed a need to change careers and explore the education sector more in depth. I plan on teaching for a few years and down the line address the issues that raise barriers to education equity systemically from leadership roles such as principal or superintendent.
