Using data analysis, marketing initiatives, and networking skills, I work to raise awareness about educational inequity on campus. I recruit the most diverse, passionate, and promising leaders from Michigan State University, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and Kalamazoo College to commit to teach for two years in a low-income community, before continuing as life-long advocates for equity and justice.
