About (request update)

I am a second-year Master of Social Work scholar at the Illustrious Johnson C. Smith University, focusing my research on policy, youth and families. This summer, I had the privilege of interning with NC Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health (DPH) as a Local Health Department Workforce and Infrastructure Support Consultant through the NC Department of Health and Human Services Experiential Learning and Opportunity Internship Program (ELOIP). Before starting my Social Work journey, I taught eighth-grade English at a Title I school in Mecklenburg County.

Current Whereabouts:

My interests include modeling, higher education, entertainment, Afrocentrism, and fashion.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My aspiration is to become a successful TV entertainer, using my platform to promote social justice. I also hope to run for city council in my home county, Mecklenburg County, and eventually launch my own underwear line.

Education (request update)

University of NC at Asheville class of 2022

Undergrad Major: Mass Communication

Claim To Fame:

During my time at UNC Asheville, I served as Student Body President, contributed as an Africana Studies intern, and participated as a member of the Board of Trustees. I also founded UMOJA: Brothers of Unity, a club dedicated to empowering and fostering community among men of color on campus.

Most Memorable Moment:

My most memorable college experience occurred during my senior year as the seventh consecutive Black SGA President at UNC Asheville. I had the privilege of creating the BIPOC Art Show, which showcased artwork by Black and Brown students from across the UNC system. I secured funding from the university to provide ten artists with $500 each for two pieces of their work. Additionally, I collaborated with the Mass Communication department to film and edit the entire show. Creating opportunities and promoting equity for my colleagues made this experience truly unforgettable
