I currently serve as a Supervisory Veterans Service Representative. Since 2008, I’ve held leadership roles at the Veterans Affairs, including Assistant Division Manager and Certified Training Instructor, and earned a BA in Mass Communication from Lane College and an MA in English from Tennessee State University. I am an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and a dedicated mother. My professional and personal experiences equip me to speak authentically to the intersection of workplace inequity, trauma, and resilience.
