About

I am an Academic Coach with the GEAR UP program at Fayetteville State University, committed to leading and supporting students toward academic success and future readiness. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 2024, graduating summa cum laude with a 3.9 GPA, and I am a member of Alpha Kappa Delta and The National Honor Society, as well as a recipient of the Women of Excellence Academic Engagement Award.

Through mentorship and leadership, I strive to empower students, build confidence, and create meaningful impact. I plan to pursue a Master of Social Work (MSW) to continue advocating for youth and families on a larger scale.
