She is also a journalist and director of promotions for Today News Africa, a news media company that focuses on news in Africa and its relationship with the United States.

One of her favorite jobs she has is working for her mother as her publicist for her daycare.

She hopes to one day own her own public relations firm and to continue to help others through various service projects.
