Meet the founder

 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

-1 Corinthians 3:10-15


  • Founder, Board President

    With a passion for science ignited at a young age, I delved into the world of discovery through the pages of NASA books, concocting my own experiments in the backyard, eager to unravel the mysteries of the universe. This curiosity paved the way for my journey through programs like MESA, Kaiser Permanente's Hippocrates Circle, and Charles Drew Saturday Science, where I honed my skills and earned the prestigious honor of a white coat as a Kaiser Permanente Health Care Ambassador. However, my path was not without its challenges—I faced adversity as a black child navigating the world of science and medicine, enduring bullying that fueled my drive to create a safe haven for future generations.

    In response to this need, I founded The House of Damper, a beacon of hope and opportunity for youth seeking refuge and inspiration in the world of science and medicine. Through this endeavor, I aim to show them that despite the obstacles, there are champions rooting for their success and guiding them toward excellence. My mission is not only to foster academic achievement but also to instill values of grace, integrity, and the importance of proper etiquette, preparing them for the world of higher education and beyond.

    I firmly believe that exposure leads to expansion, and by providing our youth with glimpses of possibility and opportunity, we empower them to reach for the stars and realize their full potential. As I continue to lead by example, I strive to be a symbol of elegance and excellence, inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness and strive for greatness in all aspects of life.
