I am currently an MBA candidate at Georgia State University concentrating in Marketing with a 3.9 GPA, developing expertise in brand management, digital strategy, consumer insights, and data-driven decision making. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Tuskegee University, graduating with a 3.7 GPA and multiple academic honors.

Professionally, I worked as a Retail Marketing & Brand Activation Manager at Frito-Lay/PepsiCo, where I led in-store brand activation, merchandising strategy, and retail campaign execution across 85+ accounts, including Walmart, Kroger, and Publix. I managed and developed a team of 12, drove multi-million-dollar sales growth, and partnered with marketing and category teams to analyze shopper insights and optimize promotional performance.

Previously, I worked as a Brand Marketing Lead at First Choice Rehabilitation Center, where I analyzed campaign performance, streamlined creative workflows, built marketing dashboards, and improved overall ROI across brand initiatives. I also completed marketing internships with Otis Elevator Company and Dentsply Sirona, conducting market research, competitive analysis, and supporting multi-channel campaign development for projects exceeding $500K in value.

Beyond corporate experience, I led as Marketing Chair President of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., managing a $10,000 budget and directing branding initiatives that strengthened campus visibility. I founded the Transcending Scholarship Fund at Tuskegee University, raising over $5,000 to support first-year students. I was elected Tuskegee University Mister Junior, where I represented and engaged the student body through campus programming, public speaking, and outreach.

I combined strategic marketing insight with strong creative execution, leveraging tools like Excel, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Salesforce to bring ideas to life. My goal is to continue growing within corporate brand management, merging analytics, storytelling, and brand activation to build meaningful, high-impact brands.
