Treasa brings extensive experience in navigating highly competitive academic and funding environments. She received a Fulbright Grant — among the most widely recognized and selective international academic awards — and earned admission to fully funded doctoral programs at Syracuse University, Boston University, and the University of Massachusetts Boston.
That trajectory has continued through competitive research and professional work, including full financial coverage for her doctoral dissertation fieldwork in South Africa. Her record includes nationally and internationally recognized scholarships and grants from the National Federation of the Blind, the Lighthouse Guild of New York, and the Himan Brown Travel Grant.
Alongside her academic credentials, Treasa has led core intellectual and narrative development for federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants, including submissions to agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Her work with clients has resulted in admission to highly selective universities and the receipt of merit-based, philanthropic, and research funding.
