Janeva is a second-year master's student in the Education Policy and Planning Program. She is an HBCU graduate who is passionate about promoting racial equity and access for Black students. She seeks to understand how policies, practices, and systems maintain racial inequality in education, and how people engage with and shape policy to improve the education system. Following graduation, she plans to pursue a career in policy advocacy and community engagement.

Janeva's career and policy interests are as follows: How local-level policy implementation fosters or inhibits equitable practices in education, racial literacy in educational practices and policy, the perpetuation of systemic racism through the use of color-evasive policies and practices, and critical policy analysis.
