Growing up in the Metro Detroit area, I have experienced the academic and social challenges, which hinder many of our youth from achieving their goals and aspirations. Understanding the challenges and struggle, my passion is to help our youth create and focus on attaining their academic and career goals.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, I attended Crockett Technical/Vocational High School, which I studied Graphic Design and participated in the Young Men of Excellence (YME) male mentoring group. The Young Men of Excellence program is where I found my passion for helping others, through mentoring and community service. Experiencing the power of mentoring, as a mentee, I was abled to gain confidence, inspiration and the focus I need to complete high school and pursue college.
My collegiate studies were at Eastern Michigan University and The University of Phoenix. During that time, I continued to pursue my passion in mentoring and service, in which, I helped start Hyman and Simmons LLC and Amil Youth Group (501 C3) non-profit. Both are companies that focus on mentoring, tutoring and building our communities, for over 15 years. I have worked with variety schools, foster care agencies, churches and communities around the Metro Detroit area, helping our youth set goals and attain their goals. At, W.A.Y Academy, I'm the Team Leader, which I assist and motivate our researchers to complete course work and help guide them to attaining their career goals.
