My job responsibilities
Coordinate and manage outreach efforts for the Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition, including the “Weeks of Awareness” traffic safety campaigns at high schools across Florida.
Why I joined the Coalition
I joined the Coalition staff because I am passionate about young people and their safety. I believe in the importance of educating and equipping teens with the tools they need to be successful and safe as they navigate life.
Professional accomplishments
Throughout my professional career, I have earned numerous awards for my work with youth in the prevention arena. I served as a Site Manager for Florida AboutFace, sponsored by the Florida National Guard, where our site achieved “Top Program in the State” for two consecutive years. I also worked as a Job Recruiter for AMIkids Gadsden, assisting many young people in securing employment and enrolling in secondary education programs. Most recently, I served as the Dynamic Futures Team Lead with CareerSource Capital Region, helping youth establish career goals and make life-changing decisions.
Interests outside of work
Fishing, cooking, traveling, mentoring youth, and spending time with my family.
Favorite song as a teenager
“Po’ Folks” by Nappy Roots featuring Anthony Hamilton.
First car
1989 Nissan 240SX with a 5-speed manual transmission.
One tip for new teen drivers
Stay focused and never get too comfortable, because situations on the road can change in the blink of an eye.
