My Story

When I was in high school, I had no idea who I was. My dreams of wanting to become a physician as a child were dashed as soon as I started taking “serious” math & science classes and was no longer just doing long division or making slime. Although I seemed like I had it all together, I struggled. High school wasn’t necessarily a bad experience for me, in fact it was pretty decent, but hindsight is 20/20 and I’m grateful I can now see the choices I made had a great hand in preparing me for life’s next chapter.

In college, I learned many things, but one of the most important things was learning how to advocate for myself. To use my voice and make things happen for myself. To listen to my gut and embrace who I was and what I hoped to accomplish in my life.

My Values & Beliefs



Passion Drives!

What would you do even if you weren’t paid for it? That’s called passion and it isn’t relegated to just one thing. Whatever it/they are, follow it with abandon. It’ll never let you down.



Be YOU!

Don’t become victim to the grass is greener on the other side mentality. When we are true to ourselves and our God-given direction, we win.



Do The Work!

Have big dreams? They will only come to life by rolling up your sleeves and dedicating the time & energy needed to make it come to life. And do you know who’s the only person that can do the sleeve rolling up? You.

My Why

As an only child with parents who migrated from the South, there was a lot I had to navigate on my own. Don’t get me wrong, my parents provided me with an awesome upbringing but there was just some stuff they did not know how to help me with. Choosing and applying to college, securing internships, ensuring I made the right decisions for my desired career path and ultimately how to break into the industry I wanted to be in.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve be amazed the many youth and young adults who are in a very similar position as I was at their age. The core reason may be different – the Great Migration vs. the tech age – but the outcome remains the same, that uneasy feeling of not quite being sure how to go about things in order to make dreams a reality. A dream without a plan is a wish, and my why is to ensure our younger generation don’t stumble over unnecessary obstacles.

I’m obliterating the hamster wheel.
