Accomplishments

  • While earning my degree, I served as a charter member of the Underground Networking Organization (U.N.O.), where I helped establish the organization’s foundation by bringing together artists, singers, hairstylists, content creators, and small business owners to network, collaborate, and promote the growth of their individual brands through shared resources and creative partnerships.
  • As a first-generation college graduate, I am the first in my family to earn a four-year degree—a milestone that represents resilience, determination, and breaking barriers.

It demonstrates not only personal perseverance but also a strong motivation to create new opportunities for myself and future generations.
