Meet Seanna

I AM:

When I think of who I am, I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, and a godmommy
to many.
I love spending time with my family. They are always a priority.
I am a friend.
I am a sorority sister and I enjoy spending time helping the community that I call home.
I am a third generation HBCU graduate, and my time at Florida A&M University gave me the tools and support I needed to fulfill my professional and personal purpose.
