She also leads the Axalta All-Pro Teachers program in partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles. Last year marked the fifth anniversary of a partnership that, to date, has recognized 50 teachers for their exceptional work of bringing innovative STEM education to their students and schools in the Greater Philadelphia Area.
