Bio:

I've always been passionate about helping others, especially empowering youth to reach their full potential. With years of experience connecting people to resources, I focus on building meaningful relationships and creating opportunities for growth. I believe in providing guidance, support, and the tools people need to succeed, particularly when it comes to youth development. I'm driven by the opportunity to help individuals and families navigate challenges, foster hope, and create pathways to a brighter future. Seeing the impact of this work, especially in the lives of young people, is what motivates me every day.


Favorite Children’s Book:

Skin Like Mine by Latasha Perry

This book resonates deeply with me because it celebrates the beauty of diversity and teaches children to love and embrace their unique qualities.



Most meaningful part of working for EPIC:

Being able to make real connections with people and help them navigate challenges. It's fulfilling to see the direct impact of providing support, guidance, and resources to individuals and families. Knowing that a simple conversation, a referral, or a community program can empower someone to take steps toward a better future is what drives me every day. I love being in a role where I can bridge gaps, offer solutions, and help people feel seen, heard, and supported. The work we do at EPIC goes beyond just providing services, it's about fostering a sense of hope, belonging, and opportunity for those who need it most.


Personal Mantra:

There's nothing wrong with embracing the challenges in life, they make you stronger!
