I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and raised in East Memphis, Tennessee, where I was adopted into a loving family at age two. I discovered my passion for computer technology early, earning an Associate’s degree in Information Technology and building a successful career in IT, cybersecurity, and education. At 23, I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and soon after faced a five-year battle with severe mental health challenges. During that season, God placed a vision in my heart to become an author. Now restored through faith, perseverance, professional care, and family support, I share my journey in Restored: A Journey through Adoption and Mental Health That Led to My Purpose, with a mission to inspire healing, purpose, and hope in others.
