Accomplishments

I possess a distinguished track record of achievements, marked by exceptional success from a young age. At 14, I launched a business that flourished during the pandemic, resulting in a Society of Innovators award nomination and two notable awards.

My academic trajectory was similarly accelerated, with early high school graduation and participation in the Honor Society and early college.

Currently, I am a junior at Columbia College Chicago, studying Communications, with a projected 2026 graduation date, while overseeing media for Soul Sisters and demonstrating unwavering motivation.
