She has held executive administrative and coordinator positions at Bank of America, Arthur Andersen, LLP and presently, Emory University. She is a life-long learner and is currently studying marketing and managerial science at Georgia State University. 

A native Atlantan, Sebreana has witnessed the city “too busy to hate” transform and grow into a diverse, international mecca. Troubled by her hometown’s negative media attention regarding human trafficking and sex crimes on local college campuses, she wanted to find a way to serve in bringing awareness, as well as, provide support to the victims of these and other atrocities. 

She was surprised by the statistics that were raised during an event sponsored by My Sister’s Keepers Atlanta and immediately wanted to become a part of this dynamic team. “I think we all have a story or know someone who has been affected in some way – we just need shelter among compassionate people to begin the conversation and to heal.”
