About Joshua

Joshua joined the Foundation staff in 2023 after serving as a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Fellow for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and while currently serving in the United States Army Reserves (USAR) as an automated logistical specialist. As a fellow with the NCDOT, Joshua worked in transportation planning and public involvement. While these units are different, both roles allowed Joshua to participate in community engagement, stakeholder outreach, creation of professional content, and project development. As an automated logistical specialist in the USAR Joshua’s tasks include vehicle maintenance, logistical management, and distribution of Class I military supplies.

Joshua is a Spring 2022 graduate of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) with his BA in mass communication. During his academic career, he was a four-year student athlete on NCCU’s cross country and track and field team, an Executive Board member of the Student Activities Board, a domestic violence and sexual assault Peer Educator for the NCCU Women’s Center, and the President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee while graduating with honors. He also maintained internships with the James E. Shepard Library’s information technology services and the Aramark campus marketing team.

In Joshua’s free time he likes to exercise, watch documentaries and go to the movies. He was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina.
