• A growth mindset, eagerness to learn, and desire to work within a collaborative, community-centered practice.
• ARE progress or interest in pursuing licensure.
• Experience or interest in community engagement or with K–12 environments.

• Curiosity and the ability to explore and communicate big ideas.
• A desire to learn from the stories and experiences of students, educators, and communities.
• Willingness to engage with uncertainty, iterate, and evolve ideas.
• Care for team culture, mentorship, support, and shared growth.
