COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

As an award winning disability advocate, she is a sought after speaker and mentor in the broader community at large. Her background and expertise in service is not just relegated to the two arenas as her key focus is strategic collaborations with churches, youth initiatives, non profits, collaboratives, businesses and community partners to maximize impact.
