My name is Diontre Jamar Timothy Davis (LinkedIn), and I will be attending the Sanford School of Public Policy to complete the 2023-2025 Master of Public Policy Program. I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States of America. My passion lies in creating change in social, foreign, and international development to build safer living environments for marginalized communities across the world to prosper in life. I have worked at Planned Parenthood Federation of America for over 2 years,  advancing from an Executive Coordinator to an Administrative and Program Events Specialist. Also, I also served as the Treasurer of the National Black Associates, an Employee Resource Group for Black staffers within PPFA. I supported the Organizing and Electoral Campaigns Department of PPFA to help provide abortion access and mobilize supporters of sexual and reproductive healthcare across the US. Since 2021, I currently operate as one of the founding members and Joint International Chair of the youth division of The Black Policy Institute, a Think Tank that works with a network of existing NGO agencies in the UK and globally to create  policies and practices that foster equity and inclusion of Black people of African and Caribbean heritage. My concentration interests at Sanford are Social or International Development Policy.
