My professional background includes internships with the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, ACLU of Georgia, and the City of Atlanta, where I supported policy research, constituent engagement, and advocacy initiatives.

Passionate about faith, service, and transformational leadership, I strive to create meaningful change through public service, civic advocacy, and community empowerment.

Civic engagement, leadership development, literacy advocacy, faith-based mentorship, public policy, Black history and culture, community outreach, student government, and creating initiatives that empower young leaders and underserved communities.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
My aspiration is to become a transformational leader in public policy, civic engagement, and community development while using faith and service as the foundation for my work. I hope to continue empowering young people through mentorship, education, and advocacy while creating initiatives that strengthen Black communities and expand opportunities for future generations. Professionally, I aspire to work in government affairs, law, or public leadership, focusing on policies that promote equity, education, civic participation, and social impact.

Claim To Fame:
At Clark Atlanta University, I have become known as a civic-minded student leader grounded in faith, scholarship, and service. Through leadership initiatives, mentorship programs, literacy advocacy, and civic engagement efforts, I strive to empower students and surrounding communities while promoting unity, academic excellence, and spiritual growth. My work focuses on creating spaces where young Black leaders can develop their voices, strengthen their faith, and become agents of change both on campus and beyond. By combining leadership with purpose, I aim to leave a legacy centered on impact, discipleship, and community transformation.
Most Memorable Moment:
One of my most memorable college moments at Clark Atlanta University was seeing my initiative, The Women’s Circle, come to life with more than 200 women in attendance. Watching students gather in a space centered on empowerment, sisterhood, leadership, and meaningful conversation was both inspiring and rewarding. It was a powerful reminder that creating intentional spaces for connection and growth can have a lasting impact on campus culture and the lives of others.
