"Faith, family, and education remain the guiding forces in my life. I believe that knowledge is power and that education is the elevator that lifts us to higher levels of opportunity and growth… My mom was a natural fixer, always helping others rise, and she taught me that when we lift people up, the world around us blossoms. Carrying forward that legacy, I see helping others succeed not just as a choice, but as a mandate for building a brighter future."
