Youth Program Management & Partner Success Professional

Growing up, I was told that to be happy and successful, I had to be a doctor or a lawyer. Both are incredible and needed professions but even when I was in middle school, I knew they weren't for me. I didn't have all the resources or experiences to explore my skills, likes, and dislikes. Leading JA Inspire, an interactive career fair for 8th graders, my motivation is to provide to young people what I never had. I don't want them to grow up thinking their options are pre-determined. I don't want them to grow up feeling stuck. I want them to open their eyes to any and all possibilities. I want them to define their own success. If you are interested in having your company exhibit or having your school participate, please email at [email protected]. There are so many more careers now than there were when I was in middle and I happily welcome you all!
