ABOUT ME
Education:
B.A. Biological Science - Hampton University (Honors) MBA - George Washington University (3.7 GPA) About Me: My career spans 25+ years in STEM-related industries, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and diagnostics.
Work:
I have extensive experience in marketing, management, finance, training, recruiting, and business development. My primary focus has been building strategic partnerships with key stakeholders to help increase awareness, educate their teams, and improve patient outcomes. To "Strive for Excellence Together!"
Giving:
I am passionate that STEM is a pathway to success for HF students! Having a challenging upbringing, being raised by a single Mother, losing her at the age of 12 to cancer, then being raised by my Grandparents (in Chicago and Flossmoor), I can identify with students who are navigating difficult, personal circumstances. Excelling in STEM prepared me for educational and professional opportunities that may not have been available.
Plans:
I will focus on Preparedness for College, Careers, and Life, especially with the new science wing! For "College," equity and rigor will be my aim by focusing on all students having successful experiences with challenging coursework, college level material, and university exposure. For "Careers," exposure and opportunity for all students to 21st century futuristic skills and industry level credentials. And for "Life," belonging and social wellness by focusing on healthy behaviors and a positive culture.
