Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter announced the new members of the Oakland Together 40 Under 40 Class of 2023 Tuesday.
The 11th Oakland Together 40 Under 40 class honors young professionals who live and/or work in Oakland County. These individuals exemplify Oakland Together, Coulter’s vision for a community working together to leverage its strengths, address its challenges, and find value in working with regional partners.
“It was a challenge picking just 40 people for this Oakland Together 40 Under 40 Class of 2023. But this group of impressive individuals offers a glimpse of the leaders of today and the future,” said Coulter.
“From medical researchers to teachers and lawyers, elected officials, public servants and non-profit leaders, these remarkable people are helping to keep us healthy and safe, working with the most vulnerable among us and providing valuable public service to their communities.”
Approximately 175 candidates, born after Dec. 31, 1982, applied for the recognition. A panel of independent judges selected the new class. Among the members are a cancer researcher, a reading specialist, a city finance director and firefighter, and a lawyer and young leader in the Jewish community.
• Julio Pimentel
Pimentel, a 31-year-old Oak Park resident, is a nationally recognized cancer researcher specializing in the aggressive breast cancer TNBC which disproportionately impacts minority populations such as African American and Hispanic/Latina women. He is a volunteer peer mentor with Detroit FocuSSTEM Next Generation Program, aiming to increase diversity in STEM education. He is a Ph.D. candidate at Wayne State University.
• Amy Schroeder
Schroeder, 39, of Madison Heights, is a teacher and reading specialist in Lamphere Schools. Her passion for youth extends beyond the classroom to the Madison Heights Youth Assistance of which she is president. She also volunteers monthly with Forgotten Harvest and Goodfellows.
• Anthony Moggio
Moggio, 37, serves the City of Rochester in two capacities: Not only is he the finance director and treasurer, but he also has protected the community as veteran member of the Rochester Fire Department for 20 years. He is committed to continuing education and leadership in both roles. He lives in Rochester Hills.
• Danielle DePriest
DePriest, a 32-year-old lawyer and shareholder at Zausmer PC, is the president of NEXTGen Detroit, the young adult division of Jewish Federation of Metro Detroit. She also is a member of the Executive Committee of Jewish Family Services where she co-chairs the Leadership Committee. She calls West Bloomfield home.
