Fueling students with purpose, power, and possibility.

Let’s make a difference.

  • Career & Academic Development

    Success isn’t just about getting good grades—it’s about building skills, sharpening your focus, and planning for the future. I help students connect the dots between the classroom and the career path, so they feel equipped and inspired to take the next step with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that works beyond graduation.

  • Financial Literacy

    Money plays a major role in college success—and far too many students are learning by trial and error. My book, Dollars & Scholars: Smart Money Moves for College Students, is the blueprint I use to break down budgeting, banking, credit, and more. I teach students how to avoid regret and build real wealth, starting right where they are.

  • Leadership Development

    Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a mindset. As a student leader in college and now a recognized leader in my community, I’ve seen what happens when young people realize their influence. I don’t just teach leadership—I activate it, helping students find their voice, own their power, and lead with purpose in every part of life.

  • Effective Communication

    Whether you're speaking to a crowd, resolving conflict, or just trying to be understood, communication is everything. I teach students how to express themselves clearly and confidently—through public speaking, interpersonal skills, and conflict resolution—so they can thrive in classrooms, boardrooms, and everyday conversations. When you know how to communicate, you know how to lead.

The Road to Graduation & Greatness

I created a podcast exclusively for students navigating higher education. As someone who was low-income, first-generation, and filled with insecurities—now an award-winning professor, prolific speaker, and TV host—I know what it takes to go from academic probation to the dean’s list, and from lost to leader. The Road to Graduation & Greatness is here to empower students to finish the race… in first place.
