Momentum Education is the perfect time

Raj Salhotra is a native Houstonian. He attended Rice University and graduated in 2013 with majors in Economics and Policy Studies. After Rice, he joined Teach For America and was placed at YES Prep Southwest where he taught Pre-Calculus and AP Statistics.  After YES Prep, he attended Harvard Law School where he focused on researching public policy issues and representing tenants being evicted from their homes. After returning to Houston in 2018, Raj deferred a job with Baker Botts to run for Houston City Council At-Large 1. He secured a spot in the runoff; however, ultimately lost to an incumbent. Now, Raj has launched Momentum Education to serve under-resourced high school and college students get to and through college and into the workforce.
