I have been tiny my entire life (currently standing at 5’0”), but I’ve always been fiercely passionate about the things that matter most to me: Theatre, Education, and Community. After competing in Beauty Pageants for over a decade, becoming a first-generation college graduate, and traveling across North Carolina to advocate for the Arts, I can confidently say that each opportunity has only deepened my passion for life.

​

I used to think my path had to lead me in a single direction, to one destination, but I've thrown that idea out the window. Why settle for just one? My master's in Communication has given me the skills to lead a Marketing and Communications Department at a Regional Theatre, while also allowing me to teach as an Adjunct in Higher Education. My background in Pageantry took me across the state and beyond, shaping me into a confident public speaker with a true understanding of connection.

​

I’m also proud to share that my marketing campaigns have earned four Clio Entertainment awards, and I've had the privilege of working on high-profile Broadway shows such as MJ the Musical, Kimberly Akimbo, The World Premiere of Jaja's African Hair Braiding, Aladdin, and many more. These experiences have taught me that creativity, hard work, and passion can elevate any project.

​

There’s so much more to discover on this path, and I’m excited to continue the journey—with you. Thanks for being here!

 

Fiercely,
