Misco is a passionate advocate of equal youth access to opportunities and quality education for sustainable and inclusive development. She is a certified Project Management Professional with over 10 years of experience in administration, program design, and youth development in the non-profit and education sectors.

During this period, Misco supported hundreds of African students in accessing university admission and financial aid/scholarships abroad. She has primarily worked with high-need students attending schools on the national curricula.
