About Us

For over two decades, my career has been dedicated to serving those in need. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and an MBA in Healthcare Administration, both of which have shaped my passion for making a tangible difference in underserved communities.

While working in North Carolina as an Executive Director for adult care homes, I witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking reality faced by many residents—basic necessities like soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste were often out of reach. These are more than just items; they are essential tools for dignity, hygiene, and overall well-being.

The scarcity of such vital supplies propel me to do something. I could not stand by and watch vulnerable individuals, especially those in at-risk communities, continue to suffer without the support they deserve. Driven by a desire to be a changemaker,  eSentials was founded, a nonprofit organization committed to providing critical hygiene and self-care supplies to those who need them most.

At eSentials, we believe that access to basic necessities is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Our mission is clear: to bridge the gap between those in need and the resources that can transform their daily lives, empowering them with hope, dignity, and a better future.
