Beginning my Journey in 2015 at Virginia Union University, continuing through Medtech College and University of the District of Columbia workforce development. I gained many certifications and great knowledge. But never settled. In August of 2022 I made the decision to commit to my study home, Trinity Washington University. On May 5,2026 after completing my final assignment, I found myself overwhelmed, but this time, it wasn’t with stress, worry, or doubt. It was with happiness, pride, and a deep sense of achievement. I cried tears of joy, a feeling that felt so different from the moments of frustration and uncertainty I’ve experienced along this journey. Some may know my story and the challenges I’ve faced over the past years in pursuit of this achievement. What I’ve accomplished means far more to me than earning a piece of paper. It represents a generational barrier I have broken and a promise to those dear to me who are no longer physically here. It has opened doors for me to sit at tables with confidence, knowing my knowledge and capabilities will no longer be questioned due to the absence of a degree.

I bring professional experience in youth and young adult education and counseling, mental and healthcare, youth justice, nonprofit business management, and corporate team building with a DEGREE. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to working within systems that support and advocate for individuals and communities. My long-term goal is to continue developing my nonprofit organization, get my masters to degree and continue to focus on supporting underserved communities and juveniles within the justice system. I hope to contribute to building a more just world through life skills development, career guidance, and mental health and emotional support. One day, I aspire to expand this work globally, reaching communities in need across the world.

Trinity has motivated and push me well beyond my capacity. I knew the stars were always the limit. But the strength I have gained through this journey lets me know I can go beyond that limit!
