Executive Director
As the Executive Director and Interim Treasurer, I wear many hats within the organization, spearheading the vision and ensuring we help as many people as possible. Recognizing that my financial acumen has played a significant role in my personal and professional success, I wanted to extend those opportunities to others. That desire is what led to the creation of Life Esteemed.
Esteemed: highly respected, admired, or valued.
I want everyone to have an esteemed life because we all matter, and every person brings value to the world. Sometimes, people simply need access to the right tools, resources, education, and support to reach their full potential.
"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

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.
