Dakota is a dynamic and articulate young professional hoping to provide clarity and purpose for today’s youth. After high school, he volunteered and worked as an educator for a non-profit organization based in California for 4 years, working with over 150,000 students in 7 countries and 36 American states teaching music and English. Since, he continued working as a business consultant in the nonprofit sector, a college and career readiness counselor, and a volunteer mentor for at-risk youth. From being raised in small-town Nebraska, to working as an educator globally, to establishing himself as a well-equipped professional in Southern California, he has obtained a diverse social and cultural perspective, valuable in today’s ever-evolving social and economic climate. He believes a multi-faceted education, comprising formal schooling, values-based education, cultural education, social and emotional learning, and workforce experience are crucial to developing a well-rounded professional.
