(45,850 posts)Symone Sanders, who grew up in Omaha, attended Sacred Heart and graduated from Creighton University in May 2013, worked as community outreach manager for the Empowerment Network in Omaha. She is national youth chairwoman and a member of the Coalition on Juvenile Justice, a national nonprofit that focuses on effective and age-appropriate care of youth in the justice system.
She worked on Nebraska Democrat Chuck Hassebrooks campaign for governor in 2014 and was a member of Omahas charter review convention committee in 2013.
In 2006, while a student at Mercy High School, she was selected to introduce former President Bill Clinton at a Girls Inc. event in Omaha. Sanders recalled the honor in 2012, telling The World-Herald that she wanted the job so badly that she begged, pushed and wrote her way onto the stage. She ended up being written into Clintons book on giving, and she caught the eye of a law firm, which gave her summer internships.
She spent August 2012 the summer before her graduation from Creighton in Beijing for a business and public relations internship.
