Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Over the course of the next five years, I see myself continuing to climb the ladder as an administrator in leadership within higher education. Meanwhile, using my endorsement as Corporate Paralegal. My mantra and credence has always been to serve by being a vessel to others. 

What is your biggest accomplishment and why?

One of my most significant accomplishments to date was being selected to represent the State of Louisiana to clinch and win 1st place at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s SCLC( Southern Christian Leadership Conference) during the annual National Oratorical Competition held in Atlanta, Georgia. My prize consultation will forever be forged and cemented within my heart. I experienced the whimsical and most prestigious honor of meeting and having lunch with a few of our nation’s most prolific pioneering leaders: Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Andrew Young, Joseph Lowery, and Dr. Martin Luther King’s children.  Following this, I was presented with a host of college scholarships.  This experience streamlines how imperative it is to always carry myself with pose, diction, and grace because you never know whose life you may impact. 

What message is in your heart to share?

Always remember the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.  It’s never too late to purposefully and intentionally pursue your passion, goals, dreams, and aspirations. Crafting a visual or vision board will assist you on your journey of executing goals one by one.

Where there is no vision, the people perish….

Proverbs 29:18

What is your Super Power?

My superpower is my innate ability to utilize multiple dexterities while parenting, working full-time, volunteering, and spearheading a host of extracurricular activities. As a mother to five witty, talented,  animated, picturesque children, it’s important for me to lead by faith.

I am intentional about living a life that will serve as a great example to my 5 children!
