Social Justice Experience
CDF Freedom Schools
May 25th 2015-Present
As an Advanced Servant Leader Intern in Freedom Schools, I supported and taught a six-week summer literacy and cultural enrichment program for youth coming from at risk communities, in grades K-6th. This program means so much to me because I was once a student in it.
Resident Support Worker
July 19th 2019-Present
As an Resident Support Worker for Rebound Inc., I worked at a group home providing culturally specific services to court-involved, African American males between the ages of 14 to 21, with the goal of successfully reintegrating them into their families and communities.
Teacher Assistant
As a Teacher's Assistant at Ramsey Middle School, I supported teachers and youth in their quest for success in the classroom. I worked predominantly with students who had a learning disability and helped ensure they received access to adequate education.

Youth Basketball Coach
As a Youth Basketball Coach, I have worked with young men from grades 6th-12th for the Minnesota Heat AAU program, Roseville Traveling Program and the St.Paul Central JV and Varsity program. As a coach, it has been my mission to use basketball as a tool to mentor and help become the best version of themselves.
