Esi Aniwa
Esi is pursuing her Master's degree in communications and also serves
as a graduate assistant at the Office of Financial Aid and
Scholarships. In this role, she skillfully oversees the coordination
of the MoneySmart Lakers program. Possessing a strong interest in
diplomacy and international development, Esi is excited about honing
her leadership capabilities through the CLA. Her summer of 2023 was
marked by an impactful internship with UN Women in New York during
which she was seconded to the Permanent Observer Mission of the
African Union to the United Nations and contributed significantly to
the African Women Leaders Network. During her leisure moments, she
derives pleasure from discovering new recipes, tending to her potted
plants, spending with her husband, reading and journaling. As a
first-year CLA Fellow, she is enthusiastic about cultivating
meaningful connections not only within the vibrant GVSU community but
also within the surrounding areas.
