Balancing persistence and adaptation

Mike Pollio
Deputy Director, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI)

We’ve worked with Mike for through the Nubian Neighborhood Network and its efforts to support pathways into STEM careers. Alongside DSNI and the other N3 partners, we’ve explored biotech training programs, green jobs in Boston, and ways to make hiring processes more inclusive for multilingual residents.

We appreciate Mike’s diligence and persistence through constantly shifting contexts. We’ve seen him manage changes in partners, team members, and the energies of others while staying focused on resourcing the work of DSNI and its partners in the greater Nubian neighborhood. Like a goat, Mike navigates rocky terrain with equanimity.
