About
I have been home-schooled my entire life and I previously duel enrolled at the University of New Orleans for the past three semesters. I was born in Georgia but have lived in New Orleans almost my whole life. I am in a family of 8 and I enjoy spending time with my family and playing sports with them. I am a coach at 18th Ward and I have made significant progress in growing my leadership and professionalism through that. I have coached many sports and have participated in many programs to help grow my community and encourage more sportsmanship in New Orleans.
