Staff Highlight: Marcus Saladin

" I like seeing the smiles on kids' faces! Also, working to bridge the digital divide is important because you are helping families and their kids widen their education and opening up more opportunities."

Marcus Saladin has been a part of the Inspiredu family since 2015 when he was a sixth-grade student in our Family Learning Program. Since then, Marcus has become a quasi youth ambassador, speaking at several Inspire galas, in promo videos, and volunteering at school workshops. Additionally, Marcus would also spend each summer interning at our warehouse supporting our technology operations.

Upon graduating from high school, he officially joined our team as a technology associate responsible for technical quality assurance and inventory. When asked what motivates him about the work, Marcus says, " I like seeing the smiles on kids' faces! Also, working to bridge the digital divide is important because you are helping families and their kids widen their education and opening up more opportunities."

We are so fortunate to have Marcus on our team, giving his time and tech skills to empower other youth in technology.
