About   (request update)
Style, grace, poise and tenacity are just a few ways to describe the 2010 Howard University Alum. Her passion lies in the world of television production where she plans to encompass ways to restructure what is seen on screens nationwide. Encouraging the youth to strive and accomplish a path of excellence is included in her lifelong to-do list.

The motto that she lives by daily derives from the late Dr. Benjamin E. Mays: Whatever you do, strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead, and no man yet to be born can do it any better.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I would ultimately like to own my own broadcasting and production company. Additionally, image consulting is something else that I intend to tap into. My motive is to be in a position which motivates others to strive and achieve excellence.
