Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
Pia Dandiya is a first-generation American educator running for Congress in the district where she was born and raised to fight for kids and expand opportunity for every Floridian. She began her career as a teacher in low-income schools and went on to become one of the youngest high school principals in the country, founding a school where every graduate earned college admission despite most students living below the poverty line. She later served as a White House Fellow working on education and domestic policy and worked at the intersection of technology and education at Apple.Now that she’s running for congress, Pia and I talk about why she ran in the first place and how her experience in education motivates her to work on a national level. We also get into how she wants to fix our education system.For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode177.
