About

I am the first person in my family to attend a college institution and obtain a degree. I started my college career in 2003 and received a bachelors of science degree in biological sciences. I let college and began working in a laboratory using scanning electron microscopes. I thought I would retire from there. We had a company closure in October of 2012. In January 2013, I went back to school to get a new training. I decided to major in business administration and management. i received my second bachelors degree. Later, to jump start my career, I received my MBA in 2017. Today, I am enrolled in the Public Policy and Administration program at Mississippi State University where I have completed my first semester of doctoral coursework.
