April is originally from Chicago and is the first person in her family to graduate from college. She is committed to helping other students, especially first-generation college students to do the same. Her goal is to equip young people to develop a positive view, experience, and understanding of God, self, and community, so they can grow up to be empowered adults who live not only a productive life, but a purposeful one. April also works to train and coach educators and leaders to reignite their own dreams, strengthen their leadership and strategically work with people in a way that produces individual ownership, increased motivation, and improved outcomes.
