For more than 14 years, I have led business operations in nonprofit, higher education and corporate sectors. In 2022, I became the first Black state director of AARP Arkansas and one of the youngest in AARP’s 67-year history. At AARP Arkansas, I advocate for the 50-plus community, focusing on caregiving, digital equity, retirement savings, fair utility rates and developing livable communities.
My work drives positive changes statewide. The volunteers, community leaders and colleagues I collaborate with daily inspire me to strive for excellence, expand my knowledge and enhance my capabilities.
Success is a marathon requiring servant leadership, resilience and adaptability. Despite obstacles, I acquired knowledge that ignited my passion for transforming communities and creating lasting, impactful opportunities for future generations.
I have always endeavored to educate, increase positive health outcomes and improve access to capital in multi-generational communities. This passion resulted in successfully implementing diverse multimillion-dollar programs throughout Arkansas.
Salesmanship. To increase AARP Arkansas' viability and ensure provision of meaningful resources statewide, I collaborate with public officials and grasstops to strengthen alliances, expand our network and amplify our impact.
