MORE ABOUT JALEN
Jalen's journey has taken him across borders to engage in various missions, notably in Jamaica where he gladly served other young people with Dr. Patricia Bailey Ministries. He is the proprietor of a business entity and harbored a keen interest in the realm of digital currency investments. His journey into property investment began when he was just 19 years old. One of his proudest moments. He loved sales and worked with his mother’s Real-estate firm as well as with other Realtors offering Social media marketing. He devoted time to charitable efforts, participating in initiatives like RISE to Hunger and BACK Pack Buddy program, and played a role in guiding small group discussions. Jalen has ministered on Zooms, prayer lines and at local organizations sharing his faith in Jesus Christ.

His involvement extended to his local congregation, Legacy Center Church, where he connected with the young adults groups, and have served as a mentor to several young men. Jalen had a deep appreciation for water, nature, and just the human connection. Jalen also found joy in soccer, participating in a classic team and traveling for matches for many years. His academic pursuits included studies in business at Wake Community College and real estate at HPW Real-Estate school. He is loved and admired by so many.
