Topaz Arthur
National Manger for Education and School Food
Session: “Advocating for Whole Child Wellness: Addressing Equity Gaps through Policy and Programmatic Lenses”
I am a Bronx, NY native. I have 10 years experience in education from a support services lens, serving youth in underfunded communities. I have worked for organizations such as Good Shepherd Services, Children's Aid Society and United Community Schools. I currently work as the National Manager for Education and School Foods with No Kid Hungry. My decision to remain in this career is aligned with the passion for this work as I grew up in an underfunded community. My desire is to give back and bring the resources into those communities.
