Meet Zakiyah, our vibrant Community Engagement Specialist! A Philly native with a heart for service, she brings passion, creativity, and unstoppable energy to every connection she makes. We asked Zakiyah to tell us a little bit about herself and here's what she had to say.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, and spent most of my youth volunteering after school at my local recreation center. I started out as a youth counselor and eventually became a tap teacher. These days, the Austin Spurs are my favorite team, and I proudly support them around the office! I love spending time with my family, recording my podcast, and making sure EVERY business and nonprofit in Williamson County knows exactly who we are.
