Matt is a 'history worker' who challenges inequality by cultivating more inclusive education, advocacy and leadership dynamics that redistribute power and create opportunity for underserved communities. Matt's diverse experience has allowed him to impact once stuck dynamics into mutual purpose and create meaningful change, mostly by navigating difficult conversations with white audiences and historically white institutions. He weaves his experience as a history worker with cutting-edge data sciences and transformational environmental justice projects to close the gap between academic disciplines, the public sector and the communities they each have failed to serve.
