Haley Creef, a sophomore finance and economics major at East Carolina University, is a student leader active in addressing social and economic inequalities throughout campus and the community. Throughout high school, she worked closely with the local homeless shelter addressing issues of food insecurity. She has been recognized by the regional chapter of Girl Scouts of America for her work with the homeless population in eastern North Carolina. Her interest in community development has led her to serve as a campus champion for voting rights and civic participation. Coupled with her involvement with ECU's Student Government Association, Haley has developed a keen interest in causes related to active citizenship, particularly with respect to voter education and awareness. She also serves on the university's tuition and finance committee, offering an important student perspective regarding university resources and student access. Her community interests align well with her academic interests; currently, she is engaged in undergraduate research with a faculty mentor -- a high impact practice -- on factors affecting unemployment rates. Ultimately, she hopes to build on these experiences and aim for a career in economic and sustainable development, ideally working with the World Bank and offering micro-lending services to developing countries.
