My Why

I am a product of educators and history makers who motivated me to be confident with the gait of my own stride. My father, Spencer Mayfield, Jr., was a prolific basketball coach and teacher, and my mother, Dr. Carolyn Mayfield, is an accomplished educator, community leader, and entrepreneur. They both instilled in me values that transcended academics. With tough love and high expectations, I was always encouraged to reach beyond my current circumstances and pursue excellence. I am honored to continue their commitment to outreach and education.
