Why Kasey does this work:

I choose this work of empowerment and advocacy because I am simultaneously extremely passionate about both education and righting institutional wrongs. As a longtime student of the world, I can truly see how education can inspire and open the minds of individuals from every different background there is. Though I don’t have one grand defining moment of why I want to do this work, I do have a steady and gradual build of interest and desire to make change. Having gained such inspiration from my former teachers and professors, I strive to help others realize their passion, and their call towards gaining an education. When it comes to righting wrongs, it’s really quite simple; I think everyone deserves to live in a fair and just world, and I will do everything in my power to work towards that vision for our future. I am honored to be a part of this life-changing work where I get to have the perfect combination of my two most prevalent passions.
