When I attended CP I was a quiet, introverted young girl. My experiences at CP gave me a voice and the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and apply to become Miss Black Rhode Island. I was crowned Miss Black Rhode Island USA 2016 this past fall. My platform is Promoting Healthy Lifestyles for Black Women and Girls. I will appear at athletic and health related events throughout the state during my year of reign. I can now use my voice as a role model for Black girls throughout the state. My title has given me the opportunity to have an even greater impact upon my community.
Community Prep definitely inspired me to give back to my community. Last year I served the Central Falls community as an AmeriCorps Education Fellow at The Learning Community Charter School. I now work for the College Crusade of Rhode Island as a High School Advisor at Hope High School. In this role, I support and guide students through the college application process. I also recently began serving on the CP Education Committee.
After graduating from CP I attended Providence Country Day School graduating in 2009. I went on to earn my Bachelors in Sport Management from Hampton University in 2012, and then my Masters in Kinesiology with a Sport Management and Policy Specialization from the University of Georgia in 2014. Although I have two degrees in the athletics field, thanks to CP I always knew I wanted to work in community relations or education. Now through my role as Miss Black Rhode Island USA 2016 I have an outlet through which I can help my community.
