During my tenure as a professional, I've been fortunate to partner with and directly support several Fortune 100 and 500 companies in a variety of capacities, focusing my efforts in the areas of recruitment and retention, corporate staffing, staff/student development, and leadership training. I am a certified coach who began my career as a 20 year-old graduate, the recipient of a Bachelor's Degree (double major) in Business Administration and Secondary Education from Radford University, a Master's Degree in Adult Education from North Carolina A&T State University, and a PhD in Leadership Studies from North Carolina A&T. My professional research included a qualitative study on the influence of celebrity culture on Millennial leadership identity, examining the role generational gaps play in interpersonal, professional, leadership, developmental, and wellness dynamics.
In 2010, I published my first book, titled “Life in 3B: A Resource Manual for Personal, Professional, & Spiritual Balance.” This resource displays my proven success in the areas of human resources, recruiting, job-readiness, training and development, leadership development, consulting, and counseling, offering reader-friendly, how-to information that will nurture professional, personal, and spiritual growth. My second book, titled "Learning to Love the Life YOU Live!" was published in 2015 and utilizes simple, effective short stories to provide lessons that will enhance daily living. In 2019, my third book, titled "#TOLDYOU: 7 Traits of a Trailblazer" provides readers with a narrative that describes the creativity and unique characteristics of the innovator. My fourth book is set to release November 2024, focusing on his 5 Areas of Healing and will be an offering that explains how healing in these areas empowers our lives. I've been blessed to utilize my experience, training, and background to provide hundreds of workshops, seminars, and keynote presentations for organizations and entities across the country, along with facilitating coaching and consulting experiences to individuals and entities representing a variety of professional, socioeconomic, and cultural demographics.
