Daniel J. Kleifgen

I am a student at Cornell University eager to contribute to Teach For America's incredible work in closing the achievement gap. My primary experiences include:

• Serving as a leader and consultant on an education development project in Puerto Rico.
• Providing intensive research, strategic, and campaign support for an advocacy group.
• Teaching and tutoring for Cornell's writing center and for high school students with financial need.
• Studying international development, with an emphasis on education.
• Studying Spanish in Quito, Ecuador and Cusco Peru.
• Fundraising, web development, and more...

I have decided to tackle Jorge's challenge and look forward to hearing what others think!
