She is  multi-talented and works very closely with leaders throughout United States working to solve issues surrounding leadership development, farming, hunger, food safety nutrition education and cooking education.  She is inspired by her family and the food that she grew up eating in her hometown of Milledgeville, Georgia. She is a proud graduate of Florida A&M University.
