Thonequea Easley

Thonequea joined the CRCP to earn her degree debt-free. While pursuing her bachelor’s degree, she realized the CRCP was a tremendous opportunity to earn her masters as well. A shy person by nature, she credits her promotion to part-time supervisor with helping her find her voice and develop communication skills that are so essential in her career today.

For Thonequea “The CRCP was the motivation I needed to continue at UPS. The finances helped when I was struggling. Many of my friends had loans, but the CRCP financial benefits allowed me to keep my focus on my grades.”

Knowing she wanted to work in an urban environment, Thonequea works as a counselor at Children’s Home and Aid where she collaborates with several area organizations while working with high school and elementary students to help them navigate life challenges and develop life coping tools. What’s next? Her Ph.D.
