I'm a technology marketer by trade, a wife, a mom, and a promoter. I inhabit these roles and want to share the best practices I’ve gained from them. What you'll get is a women from a minority background who has an inclusive approach to navigating through the world. I want you to connect with my message and feel inspired to act.

I fervently believe that the tapestry of our lives has interwoven pieces. This innate character is measurably responsible for my sustainability in the field of technology marketing with companies like IBM, Qlik, Cisco and currently - Lenovo.

More than anything, I’m a creator at heart. As the visionary behind the GRITSyall brand, I use my life as a mirror for others to move toward their own destiny – on winding, crooked or straight pathways.

These pathways have provided opportunities for me to contribute at major conferences, such as iBTechCon2019, BITCON and the City of Fayetteville as their Keynote Speaker, as well as recognition as a "45 Under 45" Alumni at my beloved alma mater, Saint Augustine's University.

By day, I am driving marketing strategy for companies in the Lenovo partner ecosystem and, like most mothers and wives, by nightfall, I’m trying to figure out what's for dinner!
