Optomi Professional Services to Support Growth for PowerMyLearning Among Atlanta's Vibrant Community of Millennials and Young Professionals

Optomi Professional Services, a technology talent company, is proud to have two members of its team as part of the advisory board of PowerMyLearning. PowerMyLearning announced the formation of its Greater Atlanta Advisory Board on March 14, which will include Optomi Professional Services' Director of Strategic Accounts, Courtney Simo and Account Executive, Nikki Hoang. The duo joins ten additional Atlanta-based professionals across multiple industries in supporting the growth of PowerMyLearning by expanding the involvement of young professionals in the Greater Atlanta Area.

Courtney Simo commented, "PowerMyLearning has been near and dear to my heart for the past 5 years. I am truly honored and humbled to be a part of this incredible organization that is helping bridge the digital divide in the classroom. Through my professional relationships with various clients and connections, I look forward to raising awareness by collecting computer donations through technology refreshes. There is no greater joy than seeing a child's face light up when handing them their own personal computer! I look forward to making a difference in our community with the selected board of talented leaders!"

Nikki Hoang stated, "I am truly honored to have been selected to serve on the board for PowerMyLearning. This organization has been able to provide students an equal opportunity to succeed in the school system. I am looking forward to not only increasing awareness and involvement for this cause, but also to grow personally. Creating a nonprofit is one of my goals in life."

Providing students and families with a free personal laptop home learning system, complete with Microsoft Office, learning software, and digital training at no cost.
