Born in Brooklyn, NY but raised in Holland, Virginia, I am a graduate of Hampton University. I earned a BA degree in Mass Media and MS degree in Community Counseling from Wilmington University.

I have always lived by the creed: “If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody, with a word or a song, then my living will not be in vain." I have been truly blessed to live a life full of wonderful opportunities in diverse careers.  I have had an expansive career in the Federal Government and have worked in the security industry in various capacities as a public servant for the last twenty years. 

Currently I am member of the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware where I gain my spiritual fulfillment and connection.  I am a member of the Women’s Missionary Society, Aids Task Force of Bethel AME Church and the Beautiful Gate Outreach Center (BGOC), a faith-based ministry dedicated to and recognized locally and nationally for, their progressive outreach and HIV/AIDS education and prevention work.  In addition, I am a member of the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League and am a Visiting Professor with the Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP) where I mentor students at Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). I am provided the opportunity to share learning and experiences across generations and to cultivate new leaders and inspire personal and professional achievements beyond the present.

I am a state-certified HIV/AIDS Educator, a Youth HIV/AIDS Counselor and Program Coordinator at BGOC.  I am the Coordinator of the Women 2 Women (CDC) pilot program for incarcerated women at Women’s Treatment Center (New Castle, Delaware).  I am also an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, Wilmington DE Alumnae Chapter where I continue to dedicate my life to community service.

I am the founder of Lifeline Coaching & Empowerment, LLC, a Life Coaching service which mentors individuals from all walks of life with a special emphasis on women and children.  Other areas of focus are persons with disabilities, persons infected and affected with HIV/AIDS and other life altering illnesses, balance and healthy lifestyles, sexual orientation, the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (GLBT) community and concerns related to spirituality. 

My broad and varied experiences have brought me to where I am today in my life.  Each and every one of these positions has helped me to grow, learn and share as a well-rounded individual and prepared me to partner with others and remind them that all they need comes from within. It is up to each individual to tap into their spirit and soul in order to see clearly their true purpose and find their own sense of inner peace and belonging.
