Deeply committed to public service, I bring passion and a positive attitude to every endeavor. My genuine enthusiasm and dedication are reflected in my extensive experience and educational background. I am a creative, dynamic, and forward-thinking leader with diverse academic knowledge and administrative expertise, who prioritizes justice- and community-driven efforts.

Having previously received an MPA and a graduate certificate in Arts and Cultural Management from the College of Charleston, I am currently a doctoral candidate in public administration at North Carolina State University. My research focuses on collaborative problem-solving, public trust, and social equity in criminal justice and education. Beyond academia, I’ve worked in various areas of the public sector such as regional planning, local government, higher education, and nonprofit management.
