Growing up in a family where both my mother and father were extremely active in youth outreach programs, I developed a love for youth programming. As a homeschool student (K-8th grade) I had the opportunity to train in various arts and athletics programs. The fact that there was not a strong representation of youth from my community did not go unnoticed. After working with the Super KIDS program which was held in several Detroit Public Schools, I made the decision to commit to youth development programs and education. Through DANCE, Inc. and STARS Elite Training Center, I have been blessed with the opportunity to help mold the lives of hundreds of youth using arts and athletics programming to impact their lives.
