Operations and Brand Coordinator, Midwest Motion LLC
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: Originally from New York City, I bring a Caribbean heritage rooted in Guyana that has shaped my perspective, work ethic, and creativity. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business management with a concentration in human resources and project management, and I am also a Fellow in the Jeremiah Program Fellowship, where I continue to grow as a leader committed to long-term impact.
Professionally, I work as an Operations & Brand Coordinator with Midwest Motion LLC, a startup company where I enjoy working behind the scenes to help build structure, systems, and sustainable growth. I’m drawn to startup environments because they allow creativity, adaptability, and strategic thinking to thrive.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing and am currently working on a self-published book scheduled for release in 2026. I also love cooking and baking, especially Caribbean dishes inspired by my Guyanese heritage.
Q: What inspired you to get involved in your community at a young age?
A: My involvement in the community was inspired by lived experience and the understanding that access to support can change the trajectory of a person’s life. At a young age, I saw firsthand how guidance, resources, and advocacy can make a lasting difference.
Those experiences shaped my desire to give back and to be part of solutions that help individuals and families move forward. Community involvement became a way to ensure that others feel supported, seen, and empowered, especially during challenging seasons.
Being engaged in the community isn’t just about service; it’s about connection and responsibility. I believe when people invest in one another, communities grow stronger and more resilient.
Q: Who has been the most influential mentor in your life, and why?
A: Two women have been especially influential in my life: my mother (Mrs. Bascom) and Mrs. Laetitia. Both have modeled resilience, discipline, and a deep commitment to education. My mother holds two degrees earned in two different countries, and her journey taught me that learning is not limited by geography or circumstance. She instilled in me the belief that education is both a tool for empowerment and a responsibility to oneself.
Mrs. Laetitia has been equally impactful, offering consistent encouragement, accountability, and perspective throughout my educational and professional journey. She has always pushed me to aim higher while reminding me that growth is a process, not a race.
