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.
