I am excited to be a part of The Boys' Room as I can relate to many students. As a black male who has attended PWIs across the country, including North Carolina, Ohio, Connecticut, and now New York, I can relate to many of the experiences our students are going through. You can find me playing basketball with my friends, exploring NYC, r singing my favorite RB and Soul hits in my free time! One fun fact about me is that I am 6 foot 7!
