THE DEAN'S LIST
MY DIGITAL BRANDING SMALL BUSINESS
I started to brand myself at a very young age -- using HTML coding to make a customized MySpace profile that could impress my friends and family. Fast forward to the start of my freshman year at The University of Georgia, I created a logo, personal website/online portfolio, and business card. This strong digital brand allowed me to present myself well before even meeting potential employers for jobs or internships.
Thanks to my digital branding and conscious effort at learning business professional etiquette, I landed internships at Fox 5 & CNN in Atlanta, Georgia and Terre Des Langues in Tours, France. After college, I landed my first job as Deborah Norville's Executive Assistant at Inside Edition in New York City and am currently the Studio Coordinator and On-Air Personality at Ryan Seacrest Studios in Charlotte, NC.
In 2015, I wanted to combine my passions for branding, tech, design, telling peoples' stories, coaching young professionals, my family's non profit in Western Kenya, and empowering women. After a couple of sleepless nights of planning and web design in my tiny NYC apartment, the idea for The Dean's List Services International, Inc. was born. At 22, I founded my own tech start-up to help digitally brand young professionals and score them the job of their dreams through a showcasing of their accomplishments.
This opportunity to be a female entrepreneur in the tech industry has furthered my goal of empowering others around the world. Since our founding in 2015, we have built a girls' dormitory in Kenya with a percentage of the profits from each branding package and have helped countless people achieve their goals. I believe that in a fiercely competitive world, we can give young leaders the confidence they need for getting the job of their dreams via digital branding. Additionally, we are helping businesses reach new markets and increase customer base through digital pathways of communication.
Through The Dean's List, I have made it my work’s mission to empower others and help provide an education to all girls around the world so they too can fulfill their dreams -- having a lasting impact on their lives, their family, their communities, and our world.

WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
A portion of each branding package goes to 501c3 non-profit organization, Habitat Aid Initiative. Recently, TDL donated enough money to help build a dormitory at the Khwisero Girls School, creating a safe environment for women to learn and grow. I have been traveling to Africa with Habitat Aid since she I was a young girl -- instilling in me the belief to uplift others in all endeavors. During my trips, I visited various programs that take in girls and support them through educational opportunities to equip them with the tools to live independently. I will continue to give back globally to empower the disenfranchised.
