My future plans after completing my undergraduate studies is to continue my education by earning a Master's degree and completing the required credits to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). This milestone is essential, as my long-term goal is to combine my accounting knowledge with my deep interest in U.S. intelligence. I have always been fascinated by the idea of working for a government agency, and I plan to pursue a role as a forensic accountant with one of the eighteen federal agencies in the U.S. Attending an HBCU is more than a personal choice; it is something that has become a part of my family. My mother graduated from Jackson State University, my aunt from Mississippi Valley State University, and my uncle from Alcorn State University. Now, I continue that legacy at Howard University's School of Business. Howard's motto, "Truth and Service," is reflected in every class discussion and is the foundation of the school's legacy. That culture of accountability and community gives me more than a sense of belonging; it allows me to transcend and break down barriers. I am hopeful and inspired by the vision of the day when I see more Black professionals working for U.S. intelligence. At Howard, I have found a second home, a network of people who seek to celebrate and propel us toward future change. That is why an HBCU is where I belong, and I am deeply committed to devoting my passion to both “Truth and Service.”

Charity has always been a way for individuals to donate or serve a specific cause, but to me, it is about selflessness and a genuine desire to uplift others. It is the idea of putting one's feelings aside and personally offering something meaningful to someone else. The desire to help others shouldn’t come from a sense of obligation, but from a genuine inner drive; a flame fueled by our shared humanity and compassion, connecting us to communities whose lives can change because of our ambition for change. In the future, I intend to give back by dedicating my time and skills to support underserved communities. From mentoring, community service, and mission trips to fundraising, I want to contribute to not only places that speak out to me but anywhere in which my hands may bless another soul. I want to be that hand of service, guided by empathy, compassion, dedication, and a driven purpose to make a difference.
