Q&A With Tiyanna Williams

(interview me)

About (request update)

I worked in customer service for about 4 years. In high school, I worked in retail and restaurants. Building necessary skills such as working with a team, reliability, cleanliness, organization, technical, cash-handling, problem-solving, etc.

After leaving college. I went back to customer service jobs. Gaining more experience. I began working for a cleaning company for a little over a year before I went back to school and got a serving job nights and weekends.

I went to Wake Technical Community College and got my Associate in Arts degree. I graduated from there in December 2024. In December of 2024, I also became a Registered Behavior Technician. This is where I currently work, working with children with autism.

Current Whereabouts:

I'm currently into reading. Getting more involved with my community/ volunteering. Being a part of change in the lives of kids, especially black kids. Truthfully, I just like to spend time with my family or doing something I truly enjoy, it's nothing like enjoying life and it's quiet or chaotic moments.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My life aspirations include helping multiple or several communities in North Carolina. I want to offer free and low-cost services to educate adults on things that people often aren't. Something I always say is that people can't succeed or make good decisions if they don't know how to or have to necessary tools to. Education/Knowledge is wealth. So I want to have community centers to offer classes and services to help people with financial literacy, parenting, resumes/employment skills, like marketing, business, technology, etc. I also want to be a Children and Mental Health therapist, helping children and families understand what children need to thrive mentally, and be able to have a good quality of life. I am really passionate about helping children and changing the future. We live in a world where children and kids are more into technology and what's going on around us, so much so that they neglect to take care of their mental health. I really want to change that, and be a part of something that will contribute to struggling communities getting back up and live up to their greatest potential.

Education (request update)

North Carolina Central University class of 2027

Undergrad Major: Psychology

Claim To Fame:

My claim to fame in college or for most anywhere I have been in life is my ability to turn any situation into a good one or remain optimistic when things aren't going well. And this isn't a small feat. I have always been known for being able to cheer others up. I'm always smiling and happy. I was voted most likely to cheer someone up, and I think that, along with being able to remain positive in stressful situations, is an amazing quality. With depression, anxiety, and just everyday hardships, life is challenging for a lot of people. I know that someone like me can encourage others to shift their mindset and better their lives and how they feel about it. I know that this quality will bring great value to many people.

Most Memorable Moment:

My most memorable college moments include helping my friends out with writing papers. Because of how I previously wrote papers in high school, I wrote papers really well. I would help my friends out a lot of the time, showing them how to find credible research, reading over their papers, etc. Another memorable college moment was also learning from others, learning what I can do to set myself apart, also learning how to be more organized and manage my time better. The most memorable parts of college are the parts that pushed me to be more productive and successful in everyday life.
