I am an avid lover of global music, dancing, traveling, and cooking! I grew up along the Northeastern coast of the United States, living in several states and cities, with the Bronx, Connecticut, and now Boston holding particularly special places in my heart. My love of travel has taken me to nine countries and dozens of unique cities around the world, including China, where I lived, studied, and worked professionally for three years.

I have a special affinity for the African continent and take immense pride in being part of the African diaspora—a legacy of incredible resilience, creativity, cultural diversity, ancient wisdom and innovation. I am also a first-generation student and professional, and the first in my family to earn a master’s degree.

Interests Outside of Work:

I enjoy spending time with friends and family.
I love learning the stories of my people (family, ancestors, diaspora) and preserving memories through photography, writing, and creating photo albums that I can revisit for years to come.
I enjoy language learning – Chinese and Japanese are my current favorites to study.
