Youth Camps

I love being a mentor and educating the youth! Before we get into basketball drills and skills, it’s important to explain the importance of teamwork, but that school work comes first.

 

Symposiums/Panel Discussions

I enjoy being a part of panel discussions about mental health. It is important to break the silence and openly talk about mental health. Helping people understand it’s okay to talk to someone when you need help.

 
 

Motivational Speaker

Everyone needs to be motivated! When I tell my story, it helps others to see they are not alone. I have been up and I have been down, but I never give up. Skies the limit!
