ABOUT
Integrity in Action
At my core, I am a storyteller. I use storytelling as a tool to make complex ideas accessible, meaningful, and actionable, helping individuals and organizations better understand their purpose and potential.
Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou’s belief that “when you get, give,” my journey has been shaped by both academic study and lived experience. I earned my PhD from the University of Georgia, a Master of Arts in Education Policy and Leadership from the University of Maryland–College Park, and studied business at Wingate University.
My work explores the intersections of leadership, identity, diversity, and personal growth. Through speaking, consulting, and writing, including my book The Invitation to Love, I help others embrace challenges, lead with purpose, and create meaningful change.
