She is the Program Manager at the University of Utah's HBCU IMPACT program. Originally from Charlotte, NC, she attended college in DC at Howard University, where she received her bachelor's of arts in Strategic, Legal, and Management Communications. HBCU IMPACT is a summer internship program that allows students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to connect with companies in Utah. This will give companies access to a more diverse talent with the hopes of them having full-time employment at your company. The companies pay for the student's flights, housing, and salary over the summer. In return, the University of Utah will provide access to HBCU students, housing on campus, community connections, and weekend activities such as professional development and community service. IMPACT is an acronym for Internship, Mentorship, Professional Development, Academic Achievement, Community Service, and Talent Enrichment.
