About (request update)

Current Whereabouts:

CEO and founder of Kollege and Kareer 4 Youth where I provide college prep and career readiness training and workshops to youth. Our youth have struggled to find a sense of direction in regards to educational options and choosing a career path that is best for them. My goal is to arm youth (ages 12-19) with the skills, resources and heightened sense of awareness needed to make good education and career decisions. The KaKY Social Networking Community is designed to inform youth about Career Exploration, Skills Assessments, Resume & Cover Letter Reviews, Mock Interviews, Networking, Career Development and Resources (Scholarships, Grants and Fellowships and Financial Aid links, Referrals).
