Curls is a global natural hair care brand. I began working with Curls as a social media coordinator and then transitioned into my new role as the NYC lead brand ambassador. Working with Curls has certainly proven to be the best of both worlds. At times I will work an event where I am solely a hair model, educating the audience on maintaining healthy natural hair but then there are times when it's time to get down and dirty. For large expos, I serve as the on - site event coordinator, setting up the booth, managing inventory, cash and credit card sales. In this role, I have learned to think quick on my feet and provide solutions for unexpected situations.

Founded as a nonprofit treatment center in Harlem to fight health disparities in the community, the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care has grown to become a beacon for quality, dignity and accessibility in cancer care. In March 2014 I began to freelance and I picked up the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention as a client. I was able to take what I learned at Abyssinian Development Corporation and apply it at the Ralph Lauren Center. I took control of their social media channels and increased their online footprint substantially. In order to increase their local visibility, I took a grassroots approach and developed partnerships with other local businesses such at Red Rooster, The Cecil and Minton's. To support the groundbreaking work being done at The Ralph Lauren Center I co - produced a introduction video that was able to shed light on the patients, doctors and patient - navigators.

While interning for Brooklyn College an amazing opportunity presented itself and I was offered the Athletic Compliance Officer role at Brooklyn College. In this role, I oversee all compliance administration for the Bulldogs' 15 Division III intercollegiate sports. On a day - to - day I check the eligibility of all student athletes and ensure the department is in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA and the CUNYAC conference. I monitor the student athletes progress in their classes to ensure that they are on track to earning their degree. In addition to compliance, I also coordinate transportation for team away games and when needed I will also coordinate travel plans the team's annual out - of - state trip. In this role, I have learned to juggle concurrent projects yet increasing my attention to detail. Highlight: Traveling with the swim team to assist to head men and women swim coach in Stuart, FL.
