Shammell Forbes

Shamell broke into higher ed after a seven-year career in social services managing the developmentally disabled and learning the value of empathy and communication. With the transition, Shamell built strong connections with leaders and developed a passion for college access and student success. He’s excited to join Campus Sonar’s mission of restoring trust in higher ed and partner with campuses willing to do the work. As an immigrant and first-gen college student, Shamell knows there’s work to do, and as a former NCAA Division I athlete and campus leader he knows what higher education can do for a student. As a wine sipper and single father of one cool cat, he’s having a good time and ready to listen!
