Community impact

For the past three years, I have served as an Adult Supervisor with Teen Empowerment NET Youth Club under the leadership of Mrs. Charlotte Harwell. Through this organization, we bring youth together once a month throughout Tipton County and surrounding areas to teach young boys valuable life skills and help prepare them to become responsible men. Our lessons include public speaking, proper dress, leadership, character development, and personal responsibility. We also participate in annual citywide cleanups to help keep our communities clean and beautiful. In addition to my work with youth, I have provided meals to the homeless and less fortunate on multiple occasions. I have also hosted two community back-to-school drives, serving over 100 children and helping families who face financial challenges prepare for the school year. Through these efforts, I am committed to empowering young people, supporting families, and making a meaningful difference in Tipton County and surrounding communities.
