==Bio==
Hey! I'm glad you're here.

My name is Jake Alihan Kapusansky, and I pride myself on being a visionary leader and professional speaker. I currently serve on various justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion advisory boards including the Presidential Student Advisory Network and the College of Business DEI Committee through my start-up, Kap and Company: www.changewithkapandco.com.

This summer, I worked as a Services Sales Intern at Dell Technologies, and over a 12-week period of rigorous project development and presentation(s), I learned the value of having someone believe in you.

At Dell, any idea I had, thought through, and worked to develop was supported and championed. In congruence with my Services Sales training, I gained the confidence to create a holistic business process that will be implemented into the summer '23 cohort based on culture, diversity, and inclusion principles.

My personal mission is to create and maintain multiple streams of problem-solving ideas, to have a lasting proactive impact on long-term actionable change.

To align with this mission, in 2020, I co-founded the Organization of Asian Leaders, which aims to develop diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that support the Asian community in Mt. Pleasant. As a champion of diversity, I continue to develop science through my start-up, Kap and Company while I mentor students to develop their personal & professional brands as a Resident Assistant and advisor to my communities.

While I currently reside in Mt. Pleasant, MI, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Marketing with a Professional Sales Concentration with a minor in Information Systems at Central Michigan University.

When I am not working, I spend my time with my family and friends, eating, laughing, and having conversations about life. I love to watch movies, read, write, and go for runs at a very slow pace.

 Throughout my time at Uni, I completed 3 sales-based internships (my Business Admin. degree centered on Marketing with a Concentration in Professional Sales); one at State Farm, in which I became THE Jake from State Farm; one at Dell Technologies, in which I worked as a Services Sales Intern (hybrid) in Austin/ Round Rock, TX; and one at the Paycom Indianapolis Sales Office in Monument Circle (a.k.a. the heart of Indy or a 5 min. drive to Lucas Oil Stadium).
-I loved every single one of these experiences, and I see the profession of sales as a catalyst for learning, listening, building for connectivity and conversation, while also leaning into rejection and resilience. In one word, I'm looking to create intrinsic GRIT for whatever profession I end up moving into in my 30's and beyond (I'm currently 21).

 My '''mission''' is to transform the way in which underrepresented populations are able to capitalize on economic opportunities within inequitable systems. For context, I began my life in an orphanage in Yalutorovsk, RUS (I stand w. Ukraine), and came to the United States as an Adoptee when I was a baby. This personal history has led me to combine business and social work within my current and future domains of expertise based on lived experience. As I grew up, I struggled to tell my story, and in working through this challenging process, I became a high energy communicator who has now made a profession out of telling and listening to stories.

As we developed the organization, we learned that it wasn't stopping hate that we could control or influence. What we could influence was COMMUNITY, and in doing so, we could build strategic alliances with the other underrepresented communities within our campus's ecosystem while championing their causes in tandem with ours. This rapidly transformed the landscape of how students saw themselves and their organizations' ability to create self-representation while navigating the higher education environment. We fostered change through fundraising, carving out budgets for ourselves, speaking publicly/ protesting for our causes, and so much more.

 My '''vision''' has always been to work myself out of organizations to make room for new leaders to emerge. I always say, praise in public, coach in confidence. If we can do these two things, we can bring the next generation of leaders to replace us while operating autonomously through our training and principles that we leave behind. Then these emerging change agents can become better than we ever were.

 When I am not working (which I probably do too much of), I spend my time with my family and friends, eating, laughing, and having deep conversations about life. I love to watch movies, travel (just backpacked Europe with the money I made from starting my consulting company in college), read (fiction before bed and non-fiction when I wake up), write, and go for runs at a very very slow pace. This year, I completed my first ever half-marathon, and I plan to do a lot of backpacking and camping in NorCal over the next few years.
