Life Mission
Encourage others to dream bigger and put in the hard work to achieve large goals. I hope to inspire others (especially women) to strive to create space in areas that have generally not been open to similarly situated people. I am no stranger to having goals that are not easily achieved and putting in the hard work to achieve those goals. 
 
Life Objective: 
My objective in life is to continue to push myself to do things that are outside of the norm and not always easy or comfortable so that I can continue to grow as a leader.
 
Get to know me:
I am a native of Durham, North Carolina, and received a B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of South Carolina. I graduated from North Carolina Central University School of Law in May 2020. I will be attending Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia next year to become a Marine Corps Officer and a member of the JAG Corps.
 
 
What makes you a Whole Lotta Woman?
 I’d say that what makes me a whole lotta woman is not only my drive but that I don’t allow fear of failure to hold me back from anything. Often times once I get it in my head to do something I have to give it all my effort to try my best. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that I would rather try and fail at something than never try at all. The little voice in the back of my head will always keep reminding me of a goal I had for something if I never put my best foot forward and try to achieve that goal. I gave up on becoming a Marine Corps Officer for a while because I didn’t feel like enough people supported me in the beginning. However the idea/goal never went away and I realized that I have to stay true to my personal goals no matter what.
