Beacon Park during Cider in the City<\/p><\/div>\n

Tell us about your host company and your role in the organization.<\/strong>
\nMy host company is DTE. I am currently a Neighborhood Revitalization Fellow in the Department of Public Affairs. My role consists of outreach and assistance in Beacon Park programming and activities. I am currently working to highlight the sustainable features of this beautiful greenspace, while using data visualization techniques to capture and communicate to the park\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the challenge project you\u2019re currently working on; what are you learning from the experience?<\/strong>
\nThrough the challenge project I\u2019m currently working on, I\u2019m learning the importance of storytelling that bridges the gap between people from different walks of life. For Focus: Hope\u2019s Generation of Promise (GoP) program, my teammates and I are crafting templates that will help GoP better understand its students and keep them engaged beyond their time as students in the program.<\/p>\n

How do you hope to impact the community as a Fellow?<\/strong>
\nAs a Fellow, I hope to shine a light on Detroit\u2019s rich history, culture, and many of its unique, small businesses. I\u2019d like to play a part in encouraging people to live, work, and contribute to Detroit.<\/p>\n

How do you believe your fellowship will shape your career moving forward?<\/strong>
\nMy fellowship year will enhance my ability to network and arm me with new skills related to outreach, collaboration, and design. I am working with a much larger and more diverse group than I ever have, which has been a pleasant experience, as well as gaining patience through virtually engaging my coworkers and other team members.<\/p>\n

Challenge Detroit Walking Tour of Detroit<\/p><\/div>\n

Please share the most memorable moment you have experienced so far as a Fellow. Why was it memorable and how has it impacted you?<\/strong>
\nThus far, my most memorable moment as a Fellow has been the walking tour of Detroit. I was amazed at the detail in information shared and small jewels about the city that, in some cases, I thought only I knew. This tour was a reminder that there\u2019s always something new to discover, even about familiar places.<\/p>\n

If someone is reading this and considering applying to be a Fellow, why would you encourage them to apply?<\/strong>
\nI would encourage that person to become a Fellow to build a network of compassionate, determined, kind-hearted, knowledgeable individuals with the mission of making all spaces more positive and inclusive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
