About

I am a high school graduate of Liberty County High School. I am a hardworking student who has maintained an A average for four years of high school.

I have been involved in my community through various organizations such as the Hinesville Youth Council where I served as Mayor for two years, the Youth NAACP where I am the secretary, and Bridging the Gap a mentorship program where I held the role as Captain. I was also Captain of the Liberty County Boys Basketball Team. My hobbies include reading, listening to music and basketball.
