About
I am a disciplined, community‑driven scholar and emerging marketing leader shaped by academic excellence, family legacy, and a deep commitment to service. As a Business Administration major concentrating in Marketing at Morehouse College, I bring a blend of strategic thinking, creative problem‑solving, and people‑centered leadership to every space I enter. My experience spans social media management, event coordination, campaign development, and organizational leadership through roles with Bluff City Parties & Events, Dollar Tree, the Morehouse Marketing Association, and the Campus Alliance for Student Activities. I’m known for strategic organization, evidence‑based communication, and integrating feedback instantly—qualities that make me a thoughtful collaborator and an emerging professional with intention.
Beyond my roles, I’m guided by purpose. My work is rooted in uplifting communities, honoring the wisdom passed down through my family, and creating opportunities for others—especially young Black students and small businesses. I’m passionate about leadership development, civic education, and wellness‑driven marketing, and I channel these interests into creative educational tools, advocacy projects, and long‑term plans to invest in commercial spaces that empower underserved entrepreneurs. Grounded, reflective, and driven by legacy, I’m building a career defined not just by ambition but by impact, mentorship, and making learning accessible and engaging for the next generation.
