I am a graduate of Tennessee State University (2014) in the area of Master of Science in School Psychology.  Born in Numberg, Germany with a pinch of New Orleans roots, I have gained the understanding that anything done with discipline on a daily basis prepares you for your destiny. A product of Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools and a graduate of East Literature Magnet High School (2005), my desire to be advocate for the youth in Middle Tennessee.

My dedication to this endeavor started as a junior in High School when I worked for Community IMPACT of Nashville two years as a Youth Mobilizer and Education Advocate. As a youth mobilizer I saw first-hand how there was a need for College Access in MNPS. I continued to seek focused and viable opportunities for personal and professional growth.  I have galvanized and partnered with The Beginner’s Leadership Award, Knowledge Bank, and Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools over my time as a student and young professional.  My relationships extend beyond students which have taught the value of results and relationships with both teachers and administrators. As a former College Mentor with the Oasis Center (2013), I then transitioned into The United States Department of Education Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) which aims to increase the number of low-income, first generation students enrolling and succeeding in college. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) manages this discretionary grant. For nearly seven years, I have advocated for youth and their families in Middle Tennessee. Currently, as the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) Site Coordinator, I execute outreach plans and strategies to effectively inform and ensure families have equitable access to a great public education.

I am passionate about educating and advocating children and giving back to the Nashville community. This is evident through my volunteerism with the Junior League of Nashville, Mosaic Fellowship, Nashville International Center of Empowerment and Young Leaders Council. My goal is to make the future brighter by continuing to educate the next generation. My motto is, “To whom much is given, much is required; therefore, we must meet one, reach one, and teach one to change the world.”  I am dedicated to the development of myself as well as providing the best opportunities for the development of our children and community.
