OUR EXPERIENCE
As a leader and program strategist, I am most proud to be known as a results-driven professional that empowers stakeholders through all levels of an organization.
A native of New Orleans/9th Ward Desire area, I have over 15 years of community reinvestment by leading programs/projects that help communities thrive across many needed platforms, including but not limited to, Homeownership, Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, One-on-One Coaching, Mentorship, Workforce Development, and Careers & Skills. Closing the racial wealth gap and creating intentional solutions to advance economic growth and opportunity for people of color and the underserved is crucial.
My experience in developing high performing programs and departments is far-reaching. I have managed program portfolios over $2.4B in program administration in both private and public sectors, and established departmental goals and objectives in accordance with State and Federal guidelines, rules, and regulations. I am recognized for Best Practices concerning program performance and compliance.
The most enterprising communities are those that focus on education and outreach, and enhanced culture and social responsibility initiatives by working with internal and external partners to build solutions for opportunities within underserved communities and across diverse segments.
I have been featured in Ebony magazine; nominated for the L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Award; recipient of 2 Keys to the City (New Orleans); Rockefeller Fellows Finalist; National Association of Professional Women; member of the Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics; Certification in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace from the University of South Florida; served on numerous Committees, Boards, Governor's Workforce Board; member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Author; and Entrepreneur.
