I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.

To Learn (To Love God)

“Cold Rain” is a timeless, chantable anthem of heartbreak and release. Built around a mantra-like hook, the rain becomes both symbol and salve — washing away pain, carrying memories, and leaving hope that someday the sun will shine. With elemental imagery, singable repetition, and a soulful baritone delivery, the track crosses pop, soft rock, and adult contemporary spaces. Perfect for late-night playlists, heartbreak healing, and collective sing-alongs.

LYRICS

Jimmy spent Friday night in his bedroom
Staring up at the sky
Cause he was on the verge of breakthrough
With forms of alien life
But everybody thought he was crazy
 
He said spaceships would come down to earth soon
Glowing with yellow light 
Their red home planet had two moons
And mountains piercing the sky
He prayed to God “will you please help them find me”
 
And that night in the atmosphere
They signaled to show they were here
And Jimmy’s eyes filled up with tears
Cause he’d been waiting for them for years
 
And he just hoped to find he just hoped to find
Someone out there who would understand him
For his entire life for his entire life
Nobody took the time to listen
Cause they were busy reading their gossip magazines
And believing everything on their TV screens
So he just hoped to find he just hoped to find
Someone out there who would understand him
 
Jimmy quickly snuck out through the back door
Without telling his mom
As he pushed harder on his skateboard
He tried his best to stay calm
As the aliens came into view
 
They all stood three times human size
And their skin was a pale gray
And when he stared up into their blank eyes
Was when he heard them say
“Jimmy, it’s nice to finally meet you
 
Cause we’ve been up in the atmosphere
We’ve been waiting to come down here
We’ve been watching you cry your tears
You’ve felt alone all these years”
 
And he just hoped to find he just hoped to find
Someone out there who would understand him
For his entire life for his entire life
Nobody took the time to listen
Cause they were busy reading their gossip magazines
And believing everything on their TV screens
So he just hoped to find he just hoped to find
Someone out there who would understand him
 
“And we’ve come here today
To take you away
Far from this place
Where everyone’s the same
But you were brave
You used your brain
In your own way”
 
Jimmy was on the world morning news
After leaving for space 
All of his prayers had come true
Thanks to the alien race
Now nobody thought he was crazy
 
Cause he had finally found he had finally found
Someone out there who had understood him
And they changed his life and they changed his life
Cause now everybody was listening
Cause he was on the cover of every magazine
And was staring back at them through their TV screens
Cause he had finally found he had finally found
Someone out there who had understood him
