Since joining Zaban Paradies Center in 2022, Ryan Nation grew from Resident Services Specialist to Data Quality & Program Services Coordinator to Performance Manager—making a meaningful impact at every step along the way.

During his time at ZPC, Ryan also earned his M.S. in Urban Analytics from Georgia Tech, building on his B.A. in Psychology and Poverty Studies from Furman University. Now, he's taking his talents to Chicago, where he'll join the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities at the University of Notre Dame as a Dissemination Associate on the Policy & Impact Team. We are so proud of all Ryan's accomplished and so grateful for the knowledge, dedication, and heart he's shared with our community. While we’ll miss having him here at ZPC, we can’t wait to see all the ways he'll continue to make a difference in the world. Thank you, Ryan, for all you've done for our organization. Congratulations and best wishes on this exciting next adventure!
