As a parent myself, I understand the balancing act of supporting others while chasing your own goals. When I’m not coaching, you might find me:

  • Binge watching new and old movies that I love!!

What People Are Saying

“I want to highlight and speak on one person who truly impacted my life in a positive way — my counselor Ms. Jocelyn Brooks. Her quiet strength, wisdom, and unwavering work ethic taught me the value of patience, responsibility, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching. She didn’t need to say much—her actions spoke louder than words, and watching how she treated others with respect and humility left a lasting impression on me. Because of Ms. Jocelyn, I strive to move through life with integrity, to be dependable, and to uplift those around me, just like she did. Her influence helped shape me into someone who values character over recognition and purpose over praise.”
