OWNER OF SNAPOLOGY NYC
FOUNDER OF THE AFTERSCHOOL COLLECTIVE CORP
CO-CHAIR OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS NY
POWER OF 3:00 AMBASSADOR FOR NEW YORK STATE NETWORK FOR YOUTH SUCCESS
As a mission based individual, my focus has always been to serve low income communities and providing quality STEM programming to everyone- not just those that can afford it. Education is proven to be the fastest and most effective way to close the gender and wealth gap. As a first generation graduate, I saw firsthand how educational resources can sky rocket ones access to opportunities. I wanted to create that same pathway for children of color, just like me. S.T.E.A.M. careers are projected to grow by 13% between 2017-2027, compared to 9% for non-S.T.E.A.M. related jobs. Educating communities and getting them excited about these employment opportunities is what I do!
