"As someone who spent the bulk of her childhood in the hood, who has lived in her car, who has overcome childhood abuse and domestic violence (and much more), I have dedicated my life to helping youth in challenging life circumstances. Specifically, I help them to develop a strong and resilient mindset; I help them with goal-setting and follow-through skills, with coping/communication/anger management skills, with time management and prioritization skills, with leadership skills, and with so much more."
