Interim EOF Director

When did you begin your role?
July 28, 2025

What has been your favorite part of working here so far?
My favorite part of this role thus far is serving the students in my hometown of Camden, NJ. I am able to give back, inspire and empower all at the same time. In addition, I am an EOF Alumna of Rutgers University, so I personally relate to the students on many levels. This role is a full circle experience and I am thankful for the opportunity!

What was your dream job as a child, and how does it compare to your current role?
My dream job as a child was to become a Sports News Reporter. I love sports, writing and people. Although my current role and my dream role as a child may sound completely different—there are several commonalities that overlap such as: serving people, creating spaces for people to feel welcomed and appreciated, being able to adapt and adjust, being a strong public speaker, being a team player, collaborative, having effective communication skills, creating an atmosphere where people enjoy coming too, participating and keeping people informed and engaged on a daily basis.

Which of your professional accomplishments are you most proud of?
The accomplishment that I am must proud of was receiving my Doctoral degree in Business Administration in 2024. This accomplishment is bigger than me—it represents my family, my community, Camden City and my ability to persevere through many obstacles to complete my process and achieve this major accomplishment. I often tell people that I am living out my ancestor’s dreams. My Father’s parents were children of sharecroppers and my mother’s father had a 3rd grade education and her mother was born on a reservation for Native Americans, all of them made many sacrifices so I could stand here today.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I have always wanted to go to Italy. I love food, fashion, beautiful landscapes and the art and Italy has all of those things and so much more.

Do you have a favorite quote or motto that you live by?
I live by the scripture- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13”

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
World Renowned Motivational Speaker George Fraser once told me, “Stay the course…let your failures fuel your future”
