Background

About Kisha Parker

With a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Texas Southern University, I have cultivated a passion for education, community engagement, and innovative problem-solving. My academic journey laid a strong foundation in strategic planning and communication, which I have leveraged to drive impactful initiatives. I am particularly interested in how marketing principles can be applied to social services and community outreach, constantly seeking ways to enhance student success and foster robust community relationships. My professional experience spans over six years in the education and social services sectors, primarily with the Houston Independent School District. As a Wraparound Resource Specialist, I led a team to develop non-academic support strategies, boosting student referrals by 20% and health referrals by 28% within a year. In previous roles as a Family and Community Empowerment Specialist and Parent Engagement Representative, I spearheaded numerous community initiatives, from organizing parent workshops to facilitating major school events. My background also includes a nine-year tenure at Delta Air Lines, where I honed my skills in customer service, team leadership, and operational management. Looking ahead, I aim to further my career in strategic roles that combine my expertise in education, marketing, and community engagement. My goal is to continue driving transformative projects that benefit underrepresented communities, enhancing their access to educational resources and support services. I am particularly excited about opportunities that allow me to leverage data analytics and innovative marketing strategies to create more inclusive and effective community programs.
