Lee’s journey in education began at 19 as a teaching assistant in LAUSD. As a graduate of LAUSD, she felt compelled to give back to her district while earning her BA in English and African American studies at UCLA. After graduating from UCLA, she defected from her beloved Blue and Gold earning an M.A. in Teaching from USC’s Rossier School of Education. She has worked in education for the last 12 years in charters and public schools from California to Texas and back.
