Before attending the Illustrious North Carolina A&T State university, or joining a global firm as a financial analyst I knew I had to be the change agent in my community. Being able to volunteer my time to the local community has always been immensely important to me, because I know first hand the effect & importance other people supporting me had on my personal & career development. As a member of S.I.S.T.E.R.S. program during my freshman year of college I was allocated the opportunity  to learn how to plan and execute my own community service projects, as well as understand what it means to belong to an organization full of people with similar backgrounds. As I began brainstorming service projects I learned a lot about myself and why I was so passionate about executing programs specifically for young black women.
