With Confidence… I have built a life beyond what I could have ever imagined and have an incredibly successful and fulfilling career.
When I say I built, I truly mean it, as I initially navigated this world with limited resources, a non apparent bi-racial identity, moved out on my own at 16 years old, graduated with my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology 10 years later, and became a mom of two strong-minded girls, who are my driving force to make this world better for women.
I have pushed through glass ceilings, fought for and secured a seat at the table not once, but multiple times, and have had the privilege of coaching, leading, and doing life with some amazing clients and women over the years.
My story is a testament to the idea that with grit and resilience, we can change the cards dealt to us and achieve greatness. I have helped numerous women realize their potential, and significantly improve their confidence as a mom, executive, supervisor, or partner.
In my previous Vice-President capacities, I provided supervision and leadership to staff of several departments, including Residential Life, Student Involvement, Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Center for Faith & Service, the Wellness Center, Campus Security, Plant Operations, and Student Accountability. I was honored to serve the staff, faculty, and students that I worked with over my career, and consider these relationships as my biggest accomplishments.
I have served on a variety of committees and boards throughout my career, including currently serving the YMCA Callaway County Board, previous experience Coalition Against Rape & Domestic Violence (CARDV), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee; Strategic Planning Committee, Health and Wellness Prevention, Women’s Retreat, and Campus Title IX/Clery Task Force. I also previously coordinated local, county, state, and federal community relationships, policies, and related initiatives, including grants, involvements with these constituencies, and other opportunities for her employer.
During my tenure, I applied for and received two federal grants totaling $600,000 from the Department of Justice/Office on Violence Against Women, as I am passionate about the prevention of sexual assault, dating/domestic abuse. I have received several awards and accolades throughout my career, but I am most humbled by the women I get to work with and serve, especially those who have overcome obstacles and keep going anyway.
