Growing up\, Hillary experienced home life issues\, which inspired her to delve into the issues children face that may hinder their chances of success. She works towards achieving her goal of assisting youth in breaking the cycle both professionally and voluntarily through her role in community organizations.\n\n\n\nOriginally from Chicago\, Hillary came to Houston after graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. She managed the Bay Area Branch of Big Brother Big Sisters of Greater Houston where she matched youth with adult role models for the mentor program. Hillary\, inspired by the program became a volunteer mentor herself and continues to serve as a Big Sister to Emily.\n\n\n\nHillary's desire to do more to help stabilize the lives of children in need led her to a 10-year career at Communities In Schools   Bay Area. She worked directly with students in Clear Creek ISD for 5 years before transitioning to the Resource Development Director role where over her tenure\, she helped raise over $1M. Also\, during this time\, Hillary received her Master of Arts from University of Houston   Clear Lake in Cross Cultural Studies.\n\n\n\nWhen the opportunity arose to help develop and implement the HIGHER Up Texas program in 2019\, Hillary knew this was the next step in her life-long goal of positively impacting the life trajectory of children. Today\, HIGHER Up Texas has served over 500 young adults.\n\n\n\nHillary has received the Houston Business Journal's 2015 40 Under 40 honor as well as the Galveston Daily News 2019 40 Under 40 honor. Most recently\, she completed the Rice University Leadership Institute for Nonprofit Executives program.
