Zak Smith is a Senior at Mount St. Joseph University, in pursuit of his degrees in Early Childhood and Special Education. His focus is on building an unbreakable connection with his students and teaching content in memorable ways. Inspired by the tactics of Ron Clark Academy Educators, he is determined to provide the next generation with the tools for continued success.
Throughout his university experience, Zak has focused on one word: "Improvement"
He has spent the last three years working to develop professionally as an educator, speaker, photographer, writer, and in all aspects of his personal life. Zak is fully involved with many organizations on campus, 4 of which, have elected him to an executive board position. Improvement is much more than personal development, which lead him to a Deputy Director position for an emerging Non-Profit Organization, CincyWarm, which collects clothing donations and distributes them through Cincinnati.
