WHAT OUR TEAM IS SAYING
“I’m a Mexican immigrant; son of a cook and a housekeeper who shares a lived experience with the students and families that Michelson 20MM strives to serve. I work to honor the countless sacrifices of those that came before me and the struggle of those hoping to leverage education, para una vida mejor.”
Miguel LeonDirector of Programs and Strategic Initiatives
“Being the first of my family to go to university meant that achieving my higher education was an uphill battle the moment I opened my college applications. Even though I crossed the stage, getting there was filled with obstacles. Getting students across the finish line isn't enough. A better world is possible and working with Michelson 20MM means I can be a part of a team that is fighting for a better, more equitable and just, educational system for our students.”
Marissa MartinezSenior Program Coordinator, Student Engagement
“I was blessed to be born into a circumstance where I had opportunities and support to pursue my educational goals. However, not everyone is so lucky. At Michelson 20MM I can work to create a world where all students have the ability to achieve their dreams and thrive.”
Ryan Erickson-KulasDirector of Programs and Operations
