WHO AM I
University of South Florida Industrial Engineer Graduate
Looking back on my time at the University of South Florida, I see a journey of transformation. I arrived as an eager and independent student, and I leave a leader grounded in purpose and driven by impact.
From being selected for the Student Support Services Program (SSS/Trio) to growing into a peer advisor, mentor, and representative, my experiences were more than resume lines—they were growth moments. I found belonging through organizations like NSBE, Progressive Black Men, Black Leadership Network, and Brothers Reaching Ultimate Heights. These spaces gave me the chance to wear many hats, build lifelong bonds, and advocate for others who needed to be heard.
I didn’t just attend college—I built a legacy I’m proud of. A legacy that says: no matter your background, you belong in every room you work for.
