Hi, my name is Janessa Riehle and I\u2019m honored to spend my second-year practicum at
Empower Missouri as an Advocacy Intern. I\u2019m a current student working towards my Masters of
Social Work at the University of Kansas, with Kansas City being home for me and my family.
I started my career in nonprofit development and event coordination, and then the COVID-19
pandemic was a huge influencer on the trajectory of my career. I began engaging with local
mutual aid efforts in Kansas City to support our unhoused neighbors during the seasonal
changes and knew that I wanted to participate in a larger capacity, which led me to return to
school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of my studies, I am a proud leader of KC Tenants, and also Board Chair of the Young
Ambassadors Program through the Greater Kansas City Women\u2019s Political Caucus. I enjoy
spending time with my sister and my nephew and exploring local parks with my two dogs.
I find deep value in connecting with others and imagining a world where everyone\u2019s needs are
met. I believe in collective action and advocacy as key tools in making our dreams a reality. I
cannot wait to get to work with Sarah, our Advocacy Director, and the staff of Empower Missouri
this academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your service,
Janessa<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
