Legacy of Giving and Innovation:
Memphis isn't just where I'm from; it's a part of who I am, woven into my very fabric through a family legacy of entrepreneurship and philanthropy. This heritage has instilled in me a deep-rooted commitment to community and innovation. As a fourth-generation Memphian, my story intertwines with the city’s rich history of resilience and creativity, guiding my path towards making a meaningful impact.
Navigating Tech for Social Good:
My passion lies at the dynamic crossroads of technology and social impact. With a keen interest in how digital tools can transform communities, I've dedicated my career to harnessing technology in service of others. My work involves crafting solutions that not only address immediate needs but also empower individuals and uplift communities. Here in Memphis, I find endless inspiration and opportunity to drive change.
A Personal Connection to Memphis:
My Memphis story is deeply personal, reflecting a journey of growth, discovery, and connection. This city, with its soulful rhythm and indomitable spirit, has been both a backdrop and a protagonist in my life. Through engaging with its diverse communities and contributing to its culture, I've come to understand the true meaning of resilience and community. Memphis has taught me the value of hard work, the power of collaboration, and the importance of dreaming big.
Heartfelt Community Engagement:
My approach to community engagement is heartfelt and hands-on. I believe in the power of personal action and the impact of collective effort. From mentoring the next generation to spearheading interfaith initiatives that bring people together, my aim is to contribute to a culture of inclusivity and support.
Rooted in Values:
My work and my life are guided by core values of empathy, equity, and empowerment. I strive to live these principles daily, recognizing that true change starts with understanding, respect, and the commitment to lift others up. These values echo the ethos of City Leadership, aligning with its vision to create a community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we are working towards a Memphis that is equitable and thriving.
In sharing my story, I hope to connect with you on a personal level—to demonstrate that behind the initiatives and projects are real people with deep commitments to our city. I am one of those people, motivated by a love for Memphis and a belief in our collective potential. As we look towards the future, I am excited to be a part of City Leadership's ongoing mission, contributing to a legacy of growth, innovation, and community spirit. Let's build a brighter Memphis, together.
