Yonshalae Powell M.A.

Anushah is a phenomenal young woman who truly makes a difference in her role and on campus. I have had the pleasure of supervising Anushah for the past year in her role as a Resident Advisor. Anushah holistically accesses any situation that she comes across and is able to resolve conflicts in an effective manner. She always handles herself and each situation professionally and has proven herself time and time again to be able to think on her feet, while at the same time caring for all parties involved. She is a joy to have conversations with regarding national social justice issues! Anushah would be a change agent on any team!
