About Shataeya Smith

I am a dedicated and multifaceted professional with five years of experience in educational, administrative, and athletic roles. Currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice, I aim to combine my academic background with practical experience to make a positive impact in every role I undertake. My skillset comes from positions I’ve held as an Administrative Assistant, Student Tutor, and various roles within the NCAA, demonstrating my versatility and commitment to community engagement and inclusivity. As both a DEI and Community Engagement Officer for the NCAA, I enhanced relationships between student-athletes and communities, increasing volunteer participation by 20%. At UMass Lowell Athletics, I advanced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, boosting diverse representation and reducing stress among athletes. My experience in athletic event operations and as a Division 1 track and field athlete showcases my organizational skills. I specialize in tutoring mathematics, biology, chemistry, and writing, improving students\' academic performance and confidence.
