Why do you feel you would make a valuable addition to the MCN board?

I am excited to bring an important anti-bias, anti-racist equity lens to the MCN board of directors, developed through my professional Anti-Bias Education and belonging work at AmazeWorks and my personal experience as a transracial Korean American adoptee, raising a teenage daughter and a queer, transgender non-binary young adult who has alopecia areata. Having worked within the education system, government agencies, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations, I see and understand the complexities of the institutional and structural barriers that keep nonprofits from truly living their missions and creating community, belonging, and positive change for the communities they serve.
