As a health scientist and researcher, she specializes in the convergence of communal wellness practices and contemporary healthcare. She has spoken at the Tri-State Conference of Diversity & Inclusion for Ohio State Southern. Her abstract entitled: Preserving the “Medicine Woman”: Sub- Suharan African Medicine Provides an Ancestral Answer to Our Modern Day Fight for Health Equity in the United States” was accepted in the International 2023 & 2024 Dakar Translational Symposium hosted by Rutgers University in Senegal.

She is excited to be the servant and founder of Village Medicine which she heralds as a “God Vision”. Struck with divine strategy after night shift work in a hospital during the 2020 Pandemic, Village Medicine is born as a community development & health education company committed to equipping everyone with the survival and preventative skills, communal and global medicine offers.

She travels the world learning science-backed indigenous and innovative wellness practices to bring back a wealth of knowledge, inspired ideas and coffee beans to feed her unrelenting addiction to espresso.

It is her honor to serve the community the best way she knows how through providing a space for education, skills labs, resource-sharing and a reverence for culture and creation in a way that soberly prepares us to care for ourselves and our neighbors.
