Simmons, Zachary - STARS Nashville

Senior Program Manager

A Mississippi native, Zachary says that with great pride – to be born and raised in the bowels of Greenville, Mississippi. Zachary graduated and earned his degrees at Jackson State University with a Bachelor degree in Psychology and a Masters in Counseling. His enormous passion for education has molded him into the person he is today. Inspired by both of my parents, “Get as much education as you possibly can, so you can be able to support yourself financially.” With that said, having awareness, insight, and the dedication in making this world a better place without causing any harm is the essence of who he is.

From a large, close-knit Baptist family, Zachary credits his Mississippi roots and his upbringing as the infrastructure of his peace, love, and harmony. He is supported by his family, wholeheartedly. Zachary loves Jackson State University football, cooking, listening to music ONLY on vinyl, mindfulness, meditation, traveling, dirt biking, and veganism.
