Introducing Annaliese Fowler, CNP! She holds a dual B.A. in Public & Nonprofit Administration and Spanish from Central Michigan University. While at CMU, she also achieved her Certified Nonprofit Professional Credential (CNP). This Fall, she embarked on her Master of Educational Leadership and Policy Program at the U-M Marsal Family School of Education. Initially, she believed her path was to become a teacher, but after taking her first course in nonprofit administration, she discovered her passion for working within the broader education system to drive systemic changes that benefit all educators and students. After nearly two years in her current role, she decided it was time to take the plunge into graduate school to make a more significant impact in the realm of educational equity.
