Allow me to reintroduce myself!
Born in Norfolk, Virginia, and raised in Hampton, I am a former healthcare professional turned entrepreneur, financial services professional, trainer, and community advocate. I’m a proud Hampton Crabber, wife, mother of five, bonus mom, grandmother, and longtime youth cheer coach who has had the privilege of pouring into hundreds of young people over more than two decades.
I earned an AAS in Medical Assisting and a BS in Information Technology. After nearly 30 years in healthcare, including work in cardiovascular technology and health information systems, I stepped away from corporate America in 2017 to pursue full-time entrepreneurship and build businesses centered around education, empowerment, financial wellness, and service.
Today, I lead multiple organizations and initiatives throughout Hampton Roads. Through Community Builders, I help individuals and families learn how to make, save, protect, and invest their money while also developing entrepreneurs and future leaders in the financial services industry. I am also the Founder and CEO of Pulse Virginia, a CPR and safety training organization focused on equipping individuals, businesses, healthcare professionals, and communities with lifesaving skills.
Service has always been an important part of who I am. I am the Founder and Executive Director of Do Gooders of Hampton Roads, an organization founded in 2015 with a mission to foster a spirit of doing good and create meaningful opportunities to serve our communities.
At my core, I am a builder, trainer, encourager, and connector. Whether I’m developing leaders, helping a family improve its financial future, training someone to save a life, coaching young people, or serving my community, my goal is the same: to help people recognize what is possible and give them the tools, encouragement, and opportunity to move toward it.
God is my source, and my three go-to scriptures remain:
Jeremiah 29:11
2 Timothy 1:7
1 Corinthians 13:13
They represent how I strive to live and lead: a sound mind, a hopeful heart, and leading by love.
