Born in Goldsboro, NC, but shaped by a military upbringing in Washington State, I have been fortunate to experience diverse cultures through global travel. My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Psychology from North Carolina Wesleyan College, a Master’s in General Business Administration from Central Michigan University, a Master’s in Education for School Administration from Gardner-Webb University, and both an advanced graduate degree and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Walden University.

​

With a multifaceted career spanning education, leadership, mental health, and community development, I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome life’s challenges. As a certified mentor, life coach, ordained minister, and author, I leverage my expertise to inspire transformation. I also hold certifications in North Carolina substance abuse counseling, community health work, and I am a licensed Mortgage Loan and Commercial Loan Officer nationwide. Additionally, I serve as a North Carolina Bail Bondsman and Notary Public.

​

I am the Founder and CEO of Renovating Lives and Reestablishing YOU Consulting Services, a platform dedicated to motivational speaking, training, and organizational development across the U.S. As the “Purpose Pusher Coach,” I specialize in guiding both women and men toward realizing their full potential. Through my women's support group, Women on a Mission, I foster self-confidence, personal development, goal setting, motivation, and accountability for individuals from all walks of life.

 

My latest book, "Be YOUnique: Overcoming the Odds", embodies my core belief that every individual possesses a unique purpose and the strength to rise above adversity. Guided by the motto, “Empowered women empower women,” I remain committed to inspiring personal growth, confidence, and success in every life I touch.
