Mark Phillips who is part of the YouTube group, RDCworld1. He’s a content creator that focuses on pop culture, sports, and anime! He does it in a funny way to relate to it.

My favorite part about working for CPE is not only seeing the students grow, but seeing our organization grow as well. We are always striving to do more for our students. I also love connecting with our community especially through our events! I am a people person and I am really grateful for the meaningful relationships I have made with the mentors, students, and their families.
