Community Engagement Consultant
Kymmburleigh
Clark
Dedicated to using my applied life experiences to build and serve the community in meaningful ways. Using creative design, data analytics, community engagement and accessible quality of life programming, I have been able to successfully, and radically change the conditions of my community for the better, connecting my neighbors, and supporting economic development in the process.
It’s not just my ambition to make the world a better place that drives me, but the ability to surprise people with the capacity in which I am able to make it happen, with little to NO resources. No one ever sees me coming. My whole life I have been defeating stereotypes to prove my efficacy, and I hope to be able to show you what I have learned along the way.
