Age: 35

Title: Assistant director, Community Engaged Learning, Drake University

What are your goals in your role at your company?

My goals at Drake include exploring innovative ways to develop changemakers who have the desire and tools to make a difference in society no matter what field they go into.  

What’s your biggest passion, and why?

I’m passionate about learning and growing. Through education, reading and dialogue, I’ve come to better understand people who have different lived experiences and the systems in place that created some of those differences. If we could all try to better understand each other with an open mind, the world would be a better place.
