Roshauna Clarke
Program Director
"I grew up with a passion for the arts, participating in plays, gymnastics, and singing in the church choir. These experiences instilled in me a love for creativity and self-expression. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor, where I discovered my joy in guiding and inspiring others.
As a military wife, my journey has taken unexpected turns. Living in Germany, Colorado Springs, and now Dover, Delaware, has exposed me to diverse cultures and taught me the value of adaptability. While I initially enjoyed the nomadic lifestyle, I prioritized stability for my children's wellbeing.
Driven by my fascination with business, I pursued an MBA. Project management became my focus, as I recognized the crucial role processes play in both personal and professional success. I believe that well-developed processes can make or break a business.
My commitment to personal health arose from being borderline diabetic. Refusing to let that dictate my life, I discovered my passion for running. Taking control of my health became a direct way to influence my overall well-being.
Throughout my life, my spirituality has been a cornerstone. From a young age, I found solace and guidance in my faith. It has kept me grounded and provided clarity in times of uncertainty.
In summary, my diverse background in the arts, military life, business, fitness, and spirituality has shaped me into a well-rounded individual. I continue to embrace new experiences and grow, knowing that each chapter of my life contributes to the person I am today.”
