Education Pioneers Impact Fellow – Data & Research

Kaliaya is a recent transplant to Memphis from the vibrant landscapes of California. With four years of experience spanning the corporate logistics and non-profit sectors within the accounting and financial industry, she brings a unique perspective to the dynamic community of Memphis.

Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and a minor in Economics, Kaliaya’s academic journey has equipped her with the analytical expertise to navigate complex data landscapes. Her professional journey, from corporate logistics to the impactful realm of mental health non-profits, reflects her commitment to utilizing data for positive change.

As a first-generation college graduate who ventured far from home for education, Kaliaya intimately understands the challenges communities with limited access to information and support face. Her passion lies in bridging these gaps, creating opportunities, and fostering equality through the strategic use of data. Outside of work Kaliaya loves attending sport events, spending time with dogs at the Memphis Animal Shelter dogs and trying all the great food Memphis has to offer.
