About Nonny M Mbathane

I am a Rutgers University graduate, where I earned a degree cum laude with a double major in Psychology and Gender Studies, and a minor in Childhood Studies. Additionally, I hold an Associate Degree in Human Resources Management from Damelin College in Johannesburg, South Africa. My professional interests lie in childhood studies, research, reproductive justice, and care. I am passionate about youth-centered programs that empower young individuals by teaching and sharing tools that help them become the best versions of themselves. As someone who is curious, intuitive, and community-centered, I am driven by the mission of service in all that I do. My strong critical and analytical thinking skills have allowed me to excel across diverse fields, providing me with dynamic experiences that continue to shape my personal and professional growth. Service is my guiding principle, and it continues to be the compass that informs and directs my work. I am committed to creating meaningful change and supporting communities in ways that align with my values of empowerment, equity, and inclusivity.
