Executive Director
As the Executive Director, interim Treasurer I wear many hats in the organization spearheading the vision ensuring we help as many people as we can. Recognizing that my financial acumen has helped me to achieve both personal and professional success. Wanting to extend that to others, Life Esteemed was formed.
Esteemed: highly respected, admired, or valued.
I want everyone to have an esteemed life, we all matter and add value to the world. Some people just need the tools and resources to help reach that point in life.

Board Chair
I am honored to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Life Esteemed. I joined because we share a common vision of empowering individuals, strengthening families, and creating opportunities for positive growth within our communities.
My passion is helping young people recognize their value, build confidence, and understand that their circumstances do not define their future. Through mentorship, guidance, and real-life experiences, I strive to encourage youth to pursue paths rooted in integrity, accountability, and purpose. I am committed to helping the next generation see that there are positive alternatives to violence, drugs, and other destructive influences, while empowering them to become productive leaders in their communities.
