As a survivor of civil war, Fatu has dedicated her life to addressing issues that are at the root of social conflict and instability. She is passionate about addressing poverty, and the different ways it impacts our local and global societies. Fatu has done this by advocating for people and their right to receive support in their time of need and working with underserved communities to create a proactive environment where everyone has a role in building their communities and narratives. Fatu knows this is possible through active civic engagement, as well as leadership.
Fatu holds a master's Degree in International Relations and Affairs with a Humanitarian Issues focus from Webster University and a bachelor's Degree in Human Resource Management with a minor in Marketing from Southwest Minnesota State University.
In her new interim role, Fatu will continue working to advance the priorities the board laid out for LeadMN. Her key priorities are to work with the student leadership team to develop the next strategic plan, develop a transition plan, and support her colleagues during this transition period. To do this, she understands relationships and collaboration are key to successful outcomes. She will prioritize building new partnerships and deepening relationships with our current partners.
