Summary

A goal-driven media artist/creator, professional writer, and creative writer who is hard-wired to uplift the community through effective, persuasive marketing skills and community outreach. Each occupation I have had since college is a reflection of my passion for advocating for people who are struggling to find a voice due to physical, emotional, psychological, and economic barriers. I have used my creativity, sensitivity, and self-motivation to accomplish any challenge I have faced in my professional and personal life.
