My journey started with a simple belief: if the spaces I needed didn't exist, I'd create them. In college, I founded an LGBTQ+ organization, volunteered at the Frazier Museum and local soup kitchens, and learned that real leadership happens when you show up for your community consistently.

Those early experiences taught me how to build from the ground up. They led me to stages where I've now spoken to over 10,000 people at organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, the Whitney Young Lincoln Foundation, and the American Federation of Teachers. I've deepened my leadership skills through Princeton University's ARCH/PLACE program and worked as a C-suite marketer across business, technology, and law sectors.

I've also worked as a public speaker directly with young people in local Louisville high schools and multiple chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. throughout Kentucky. I've seen firsthand what happens when young adults are given the tools, preparation, and confidence to lead.

I'm a firm believer in continuous growth. When I'm not working, you'll find me experimenting with new recipes, reading everything from psychology to entrepreneurship, or learning random skills just because I can. Staying curious is how you stay ready.

This isn't theoretical work for me. It's personal. Every service I offer, every event I host, and every strategy I teach comes from lived experience navigating rooms I wasn't originally invited into and creating space for others to do the same.
