About Me
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR | MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER |
BUSINESS CONSULTANT | CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONAL
I am a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University and hold a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership. Originally majoring in criminal justice and minoring in political science, I later made a pivot that led me to organizational leadership. Today, I presently work for municipal government, own a business, and is the founder and executive director of a non-profit organization. I believe my Divine life's purpose is “cultivating growth” and “connecting meaning.” I can be best described as a social justice advocate and someone who cares.
In 2019, I received the Abdus Salaam Logan Award for Perseverance and Commitment to Change. In 2022, the Transcontinental Society Unlimited recognized me for Outstanding Performance & Excellence in the Community. Most recently, I was awarded the Ephesus Community Impact Award for outstanding community impact. Last year, I earned the honor of becoming an international bestselling co-author in the book, The Joseph Anointing: From Prison to Prosperity Anthology. These experiences have humbled me, as I never set out to win any awards. My mission is and will continue to be following Gods' assignment, which is doing Divine work that helps make the world better. (NOTE, The Joseph Anointing is available in the STORE on this website).
THE MANY HATS
As a Community Mediator
I am a certified community conflict mediator under the National Institute of Mediation Inc. and has been certified since 2008. Through community mediation, I facilitate discussions related to individual, group, and organizational conflicts. The mediation sessions include disputes involving landlord-tenant, employment, consumer, school, business, church, family, neighbor, insurance, and more. The goal is to help disputing parties resolve their conflict/dispute, which is accomplished by reaching a mutual agreement. These mediation sessions take place prior to filing litigation in court. Currently I am doing landlord-tenant mediations remotely through Just Mediation Pittsburgh. The goal of Just Mediation Pittsburgh is to prevent "homelessness" in the Pittsburgh, PA area (Allegheny County). Book a free 20-minute consultation to find out how mediation can help you.
As a Criminal Justice Professional
Currently I am a reentry case manager and a peer mentor for men and women released from jail or prison. I work full-time for a municipal government agency, and I work part-time doing contract work for corporations in the private sector. As a young adult at age 19, I learned firsthand how it is to run into trouble with the law. That lived experience inspires the work I do today helping people, families, and communities. Though my bachelor’s degree is in organizational leadership, I remain passionate about the criminal justice field where a great amount of work still needs to be done. Currently, I am doing consulting in relation to reentry programs and services. Most recently, I have been on a college and university tour speaking to criminal justice, criminology, and pre-law students. My curriculum vitae is available upon request.
