When D has spare time (which isn’t often!) she enjoys music and dancing, as well as creating and designing T-shirts and apparel. D is an accomplished basketball player, and was inducted into Emmanuel College’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996.

D has chosen to bring her talents to the Boys & Girls Club because she always enjoys giving back to the youth. Her mother was a social worker, so D has been around kids all her life, and always wanted to give back. She wants to help teach and develop our youth of today. D feels as though her background as a basketball coach and a black female entrepreneur that she has a lot to offer our young people.

What keeps her here at the Club simply…the kids!
