During my time incarcerated, I participated in various educational and rehabilitation programs that equipped me with essential skills and a renewed sense of purpose. Upon my release, I faced the daunting challenge of reintegration into society. Determined to make a positive impact, I began sharing my story with communities and organizations, emphasizing the importance of second chances and the potential for personal growth. My candid discussions about past mistakes and the lessons learned resonate strongly with diverse audiences.
My work underscores the belief that individuals can radically transform their lives, no matter what their past. Through public speaking engagements and facilitating groups, I continue to inspire others, demonstrating that change is possible with determination and the right support system. With training in recovery coaching and restorative justice, I specialize in connecting with at-risk youth, individuals in recovery, and students through motivational speaking. My goal is to inspire and empower individuals to overcome challenges and uncover their true potential.
What sets me apart is my ability to weave real-life experiences with actionable strategies, creating curriculum and messages that resonate deeply with people facing adversity. I’ve worked hands-on with at-risk youth and those in recovery, so I understand the struggles and the triumphs that can follow. My talks don’t just motivate—they spark change. “I’ve seen students take action on their dreams, and I’ve witnessed individuals in recovery regain hope and purpose after my sessions. My stories and energy leave audiences feeling empowered and ready to take on the world.”
I’d love the chance to bring this same energy and impact to your event. Whether it’s a high school, college, or recovery program, I can tailor my message to ensure it creates lasting value for your audience.
As a published author, I bring a unique perspective and depth to my engagements. My writings further amplify my message of hope and transformation, reaching a wider audience and providing lasting value.
