How did you get started in your career field? 

My journey into higher education began during my undergraduate years at Kentucky State University, where I was deeply engaged on campus. I started a book club, joined several student organizations — including Presidential Protégés and the Student Government Association — and became an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
