Meet Angelica Izuogu, TFA member currently serving with Parker High School, located in the northern section of Birmingham, Alabama (Jefferson County). A service site of the Teach for America Alabama AmeriCorps program.
Teach For America finds, develops, and supports equity-oriented leaders to transform education and expand opportunity for all children.
What inspired you to serve as a Teach for America/AmeriCorps member? I witnessed my mother’s TFA Corps journey in Eastern North Carolina. Upon my graduation with a master’s degree, I decided to defer applying to medical school, apply to TFA and teach for a few years as I prepare. I thought what better way to offer my skills and knowledge to students and take time off to prepare for medical school.
I remember vividly the summer my mother was going through her Institute training in North Carolina and listening to her share her stories about her experience. I had always been interested in education, but never considered or thought of being an educator. Her experiences and stories she shared about her scholars and fellow educators influenced my decision to apply to TFA.
What are your plans after Teach for America/AmeriCorps? My plans after Teach for America include applying to medical or PA school to pursue my long-term dream of serving in the medical field as a medical professional. I hope to still stay connected to education in some form even after leaving the classroom.
AmeriCorps member Angelica Izuogu was pinned by her mom, a TFA alum who inspired Angelica to follow in her footsteps.
