Ayana Malone

Program Coordinator, E Marie Project's First Intern

Ayana Malone is E Marie Project's very first intern — and she's made every bit of that "first" count. A student at Purdue University studying child psychology, Ayana joined EMP as our Program Coordinator and quickly became someone EMP, our girls, and teens could count on.

She led mentoring sessions across our elementary, middle, and high school programs, built lesson plans from the ground up, and showed up to every session and event ready, willing, and able to make a difference. Hardworking and driven by a genuine passion for helping youth grow, Ayana brought encouragement and a cheerful smile to every room she walked into.

Her heart lies in helping others become the best version of themselves — and it's clear she's going far.
