Summary

A former high-profile nanny who has evolved into a lifestyle management entrepreneur. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a B.S. in Child & Family Studies. It is my ambition that led me down a successful path where I was able to create my own lane, providing me with many opportunities to diversify my skillset across multiple industries. By combining my experience in the private sector with my corporate experience, I intend to personally support Pinky Cole in her efforts. My prior experience managing high-level individuals' professional and personal lives gives me confidence in my ability to juggle multiple priorities while remaining calm during chaos. It will be my sole responsibility to ensure she lives a quality life. In addition, I would serve not only as Pinky's Executive Assistant, but also as an extension of her.
