Growing up in rural Greenville Alabama, I learned to use my creativity to my advantage; sometimes having limited access unlocks new opportunities untrained eyes cannot see. Eventually my family migrated to Montgomery Alabama for better education and health systems. I was afforded the privilege of a prep school education at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School. Alongside a rigorous academic career, faith became an integral piece of my life and has remained since then. I took these skills with me and successfully obtained a bachelor’s of science degree in Public Health with a concentration in Health Professions from the state’s oldest and largest public institution, The University of Alabama. I will always be a Bama girl. My passion for my community continues to bloom in new ways each day.
