Originally from Dayton, Ohio, I earned my bachelor's degree in Organizational Management and Communication from Wilberforce University before completing my Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Phoenix after moving to Carrollton, Georgia, in 2010. I joined the University of West Georgia in Fall 2021, where I began my career in the Department of Multicultural Achievement, supporting programs and initiatives that fostered student engagement, mentorship, and academic success. I currently serve as an Academic Advisor in the University College Advising Center, advising students in Criminology, Criminal Justice, Interdisciplinary Studies, and Organizational Leadership. I also have the privilege of serving as a Criminology Instructor.
