I am a self-motivated DEI enthusiast who serves as a Senior Business Development Consultant for The Kaleidoscope Group. I am known for creating something out of nothing and thinking outside the box to generate a new lens to see life through. With my eccentric mindset, I find myself eager to take risks which sometimes end in success while other times leave me pleasantly challenged. My vision will translate into reality propelled by my strong sense of determination in everything I do. My restorative personality trait lends itself to my love for problem-solving and avidity for helping others.

As an effective communicator, she enhances the firm’s outreach efforts by generating new business opportunities.
