At ONIEE’S ENGAGEMENTS, I direct event design, planning, and production, managing approximately 15–20 client events annually. I take engagements from discovery through event-day execution and follow-up, coordinating budgets, vendors, travel, and accommodations.

I also teach at NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY, where I design and assess undergraduate courses in in-person and online settings. As Academic Program & Curriculum Chair for the English concentration, I coordinate course offerings and faculty collaboration, and I developed two accelerated online courses for Project Kitty Hawk.

Earlier at NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY, I managed a 500+ student advising portfolio and coordinated retention initiatives across 15+ departments. As Assistant Director of Student Support Services, I planned two conferences and recruited, trained, and supervised approximately 15–20 tutors and staff.
