Jamariya Smith
I was driven to become an ATLAS Fellow by my upbringing; raised by a single mother, I quickly learned about the economic disparities of our society. My goal is to break barriers and access opportunities that have been traditionally inaccessible, fostering a successful career that allows me to care for my mother and give back to my community. I am so thankful to be a part of the ATLAS community, comprised of like-minded, ambitious, and hardworking individuals, offering a unique chance to collaborate and make a significant impact in the world.
