Chamblee, GA is a small city outside of the metro Atlanta area that is characteristically different racially and ethnically than everything around it.

JumpStart is a government-funded endeavor to provide a learning experience for American Indian students and low income students. Throughout the two years of this program, I have seen many of both types of students lose interest in education and drop out because of the difficulty or incapacity to adapt to a school-oriented lifestyle.

I have voiced the success of the program at various different professional committee meetings on campus and also was a mentor for the 2016-2017 cohort of students this past
