This fall, I plan to attend the Yale School of Management in pursuit of an MBA.  After applying to and receiving a few scholarships (Consortium and Reaching Out MBA), I am asking for your financial support to help me cover the difference in tuition and school related fees. 

Your contributions will go a long way in offsetting my loan-related debt so that I can prioritize and focus my professional efforts and resources towards making an impact in the world. 

Over the last five years, I have worked at Cook Ross,  consulting firm committed to transforming organizations all over the world into communities that honor and value diversity and inclusion. In my spare time, I volunteer regularly and serve on the board of Shepherd's Table, a community resource center that provides essential services including food, shelter, and medical care to people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. Along with two former Cook Ross colleagues, I recently launched a non-profit, the Inclusion NextWork, as a virtual collaborative for emerging leaders dedicated to inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice. 

It is my hope that during and after my time at Yale, I will be able to continue building and supporting under-served communities. Your investments will enable me to do so both in the short term while in New Haven, and in the long term by resourcing a student, community member, and dedicated leader in his pursuit to leave the world a better place than he found it.  

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. My first semester fees are due by August 1st, 2018 and include: 
-Tuition
-Room & Board
-Books
-School Fees
-Health Insurance
