Itzel Valdez graduated from Wesleyan University with a double major in Education Studies and Economics, becoming the first in her family to attend college. As a recipient of the prestigious Questbridge Scholarship and valedictorian of her high school class, Itzel excelled academically and brought her passion for education to new heights. At Wesleyan, she competed in cross country and track and field, participated in the Social Entrepreneurship program, and developed her teaching skills through her coursework.
