WHO IS: SKY EVANS-MARTIN

Profile

Creative, educated, driven liberal arts student at the University of Michigan studying the intersection between politics, philosophy, and marketing.

I love to work with people and event services: coordinating events for incoming transfer students, shaping social content on Black women's healthcare disparities for a university research lab, and representing a 100+ member student union to the wider campus community.

Alongside that, four semesters in neuroscience research taught me how to handle detail, data, and the discipline of presenting complex work clearly — skills I bring to every campaign, recap, and room I walk into.
