ABOUT ME
Sometimes, numbers do lie.
Statistics say children raised in violent, substance-ridden, and impoverished homes are less likely to succeed and more likely to become products of their environment. That was my reality and those are my stats — but it's not my story. I believe in dreaming bigger, defying odds, living with purpose, and rewriting the narrative, no matter where you start.
​
As a first-gen college grad, my life is a testament to resilience, faith, and generational transformation. In 2009, a part-time job on Chicago’s South Side unlocked my purpose: empowering, serving and inspiring others. I began to champion underrepresented communities to build purpose-driven lives and strategic futures.
​
Today, I stand at the intersection of career strategy, purpose activation, and generational empowerment. I’m a certified professional life coach, certified career services provider, global career development facilitator, creative strategist, and self-proclaimed workplace peace advocate.
For 15+ years, I’ve coached and mentored students and professionals blending leadership, project management, instructional design, and bold content strategy.
My resume includes CNN, Warner Media, iHeartMedia, Fox Chicago, Chicago Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, and the Technical College System of Georgia.
​
I hold a master’s in Communications and Training, a bachelor’s in Radio/TV/Film, and proudly serve as president of my HBCU alumni chapter.
In 2023, I received my first Community Impact Award from the Gwinnett County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
​
My heart is with serving the people and I am fortunate to have some of work to be featured in Forbes, WGN, HuffPost, V103, and beyond.
