After multiple stints in prison, he found purpose by giving back—starting as a part-time tutor in 2024 and becoming a full-time staff member in 2025. He credits his time behind bars as a turning point, not a setback, and now mentors students with the same compassion and belief in second chances that once changed his life. Through his work, he proves that transformation is possible—even after failure—and that the right support can turn a broken path into a thriving one.
