Biography

Adjunct Lecturer

Cathy Hughes School of Communicaitons

Department of Communications

I'm a seasoned media, education, and communications strategist dedicated to helping communities thrive where technology, storytelling, and social impact meet.

With over two decades of experience, I've helped organizations, creatives, and communities navigate the rapidly changing media and tech landscape. From producing broadcast content for BET, ABC, and CBS to shaping brand narratives for MGM Resorts International, producing live events for Walt Disney World, and consulting with the U.S. State Department, I've always been driven by one core belief: technology is most powerful when it connects people and empowers progress.

Today, I serve as Director of Education and Community Engagement at Montgomery Community Media and as an Adjunct at Howard University's Cathy Hughes School of Communications. In both roles, I mentor the next generation of storytellers and digital leaders with a focus on equity, creativity, and innovation.
