Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, my love for aviation began at age six, sparked by the sight of planes and the promise of possibility. That childhood fascination became a lifelong career when I entered the airline industry after high school. Nineteen years later—13 of them as a flight attendant—aviation remains more than a job; it is a passion that has shaped my perspective, connected me with incredible people, and allowed me to experience the world from 35,000 feet. Now based in Houston, I balance life in the skies with my calling on the ground as a mortuary science college student, driven by a deep desire to serve others with compassion during their most vulnerable moments. When I am not flying or studying, I am traveling, enjoying live music, and exploring great food. As a pageant owner and promoter, I create platforms that celebrate confidence, community, and self expression. Through this podcast, I share real conversations rooted in service, adventure, and purpose.

Born in Merrillville, Indiana, my life has always been guided by two things: faith and flight. I found my voice at just five years old singing in church, where my love for God, music, and purpose first took root. That early foundation opened unexpected doors, including the honor of performing at a banquet in Gary, Indiana, singing before former NAACP President Julian Bond. By age 11, I placed second in the McDonald’s Showtime at the Apollo talent search, confirming that the stage was calling. 

During college, I broadened my horizons through Disney’s College Program in Orlando, blending creativity with discipline. In 2015, another dream took flight when I entered the aviation industry—an experience that felt divinely aligned. Now a 15-year Atlanta resident and a flight attendant for over a decade, I live at the intersection of faith, freedom, and flight—connecting with people, sharing stories, and trusting God’s direction at 35,000 feet and beyond.
