City Council Member
City of Ashburn, GA (2013-2015)
Served on Ashburn City Council during a period of local growth and community planning.
Part of the same thread as later nonprofit, scholarship, and program work in South Georgia.
Community.
Scholarships, gatherings, and local programs. The people side of the work, kept close to the ground.

Gathering people is part of the work, not a footnote. Scholarships, local programs, storytelling, and space for community that stays close to the ground.
Our New Ending
Nonprofit organization I founded. Home to the Red Cup Project and the O.N.E. Scholarship at my alumni high school.
Our New Ending is the through-line for service work rooted in South Georgia: practical help, not performance.
Red Cup Project spells positive words in a park fence with red Solo cups. You can find O.N.E. Scholarship and program details on the Our New Ending page.
One Love News
Community-facing storytelling and media. Experimenting with HeyGen for avatar-led video.
OLN tests what useful news and narrative look like for the communities it serves, when format leads and platform follows.
Production experiments with HeyGen for tone and pacing before full shoots. Judgment stays on what gets published.
Make It Factory
Venue and event space in downtown Ashburn. Room to grow into a larger creative hub.
Near term: a place to host, gather, and program. Longer arc: incubator energy without pretending the hub is already built.
