Nitasha Lewis
TRiO Talent Search Director
Pronouns: she, her
Nitasha Lewis has survived a tedious adolescence. She became a mom at the age of 16 and faced every barrier associated with such an occurrence. Later in life, Nitasha turned to education to pursue a better life. She obtained her associate’s and bachelor’s degrees from Peninsula College. Directly after, she obtained a master’s degree in management and leadership, all as a single mom. Nitasha enjoys martial arts, journaling, and helping those who could use the scaffolding.

Mai Xee Vang (pronounced: Mine-See)
TRiO Talent Search Manager
Pronouns: she, her
Mai Xee grew up in the Twin Cities, MN and moved to the Greater-Seattle Area for graduate school at the University of Washington. As a child of refugees, she learned the values of community, culture, solidarity, and compassion, thus seeking tools to empower and highlight underrepresented voices. Being a TRIO student since middle school, Mai Xee is excited to now support the younger generations of leaders. In her downtime, Mai Xee immerses herself in food, movies/shows, TikTok, walks, photography, etc. You can catch her pondering on what her next meal’s gonna be, or where she might someday travel to.”
