Habacuc Ortiz (BAE ’23) is studying to become a teacher at Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. The first in his family to attend college, Ortiz started his studies at a local community college before transferring to ASU. He sees education as a way to help others reach their own potential, and is intrigued by the opportunity to transform education systems and increasing educator diversity.
