• I am deeply committed to fostering community connections and leadership beyond my professional role. As a Michigan Food & Beverage Association Executive Committee Member (1999-2003), I contributed to industry initiatives and strategic planning. My role as a Generation of Promise Youth Facilitator (1999-2003) allowed me to guide and mentor young leaders, fostering collaboration and personal growth. Additionally, my participation in the Detroit Free Press Marathon (2000-2004) reflects my dedication to supporting major civic events and engaging in initiatives that unite communities.

• Committed to continuous growth, I have completed specialized leadership training programs that have refined my strategic thinking, communication skills, and organizational effectiveness. My leadership journey includes: Generation of Promise (Group Dynamics, 2000), Wayne State University (Educator Internship, 2000), National Center for Communication (Leadership, 2001), Buzzane Centre (ISO, 2001), and University of Detroit (Viewpoints Leadership Program, 2002). These experiences have equipped me with the ability to foster collaboration, drive initiatives, and implement impactful solutions in dynamic environments.

ACTIVE SECRET CLEARANCE

• Beyond my expertise in executive support and strategic communication, I prioritize balance and clarity. Jogging, hiking, and nature photography help me reset, refine my focus, and strengthen my adaptability. These practices enhance my strategic thinking and resilience, allowing me to navigate complex priorities with precision and efficiency.

Recognized for exceptional performance, I received the Above and Beyond Award for successfully completing my first major buildout project with ACT I ahead of schedule, on time, and under budget. Leading this half a million dollars initiative required strategic coordination, operational efficiency, and meticulous oversight. This award reflects my ability to navigate complex projects with precision, adaptability, and fiscal responsibility.
