FIGHT ON FOREVER | There are times in our lives when we’re called to do hard things.

Two years ago, I joined USC Athletics with the goal of challenging myself to grow as a creative. What I didn’t know at the time was that God had even bigger plans for me. Not only would I grow creatively, but I’d also be challenged to grow as a person.

Losing my mother has been the most life-changing experience I’ve ever faced. From the outside, many people probably never noticed a difference. But to those who saw me at my weakest and chose to embrace me anyway, thank you. And to those who may not have known what I was carrying but still extended grace and kindness, thank you as well.

These past two years have been filled with incredible blessings, but they’ve also been marked by tremendous grief. I lost my grandmother, friends and other family members as well. It’s been a journey. Through it all, God has remained faithful, and for that I’m deeply thankful.

As I step down from my role, I’ll take time to reflect, reset and prepare for what’s next. USC and the Trojan Family will always be part of who I am. As a proud alumnus and former staff member, I look forward to continuing to support this university whenever and wherever I can.

To everyone who poured into me throughout this chapter, thank you. Your encouragement, support and belief in me have meant more than you know.

I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Fight On! ✌🏾 #FightOn #USC #placetobe
