Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenyatta Beazer.
Hi Kenyatta, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD. I graduated from college with a Chemistry degree and began working in different types of laboratories and eventually ended up teaching high school chemistry and forensic science. During my first year of teaching, I realized not only was that not the career I wanted, but Maryland was not the place I belonged. I started modeling around the age of 17, and California was always my dream home. Once I came to understand that I had reached my peak in Maryland, I knew it was time for me to go. Summer of 2021, I packed up my life and moved to sunny San Diego, and it was the best decision of my life. I finished up my master’s degree in forensic science, began modeling more, and found a career I could love and be proud of.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I moved to San Diego by myself, with no friends or family. Literally, three weeks into moving to San Diego, I got into a car accident, and I found myself not only without a car but without any help. I am pretty sure I cried so much in my first month of moving here. But once the tears dried, I remembered nothing worth having is easy to obtain. So, I picked myself up and remembered why I moved here and what I was capable of. There is no part of life that’s always smooth sailing, but I think it’s how you handle those rough patches that truly define you. Once I decided nothing would stop me from living the life, I knew I deserved, I won’t say it made everything smoother, but I can say I’ve gotten through every rough patch gracefully.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I currently work as a Quality Systems Specialist for a biotech company. My job I like to say is to make sure everyone in my company continue to have a job. Some areas of focus are audits, supplier management, document control, compliance and overall ensuring my company has an effective and efficient quality management system. I always thought I’d spend my career working in a lab, but this had been quite the surprise. I’m proud of myself for always improving, for putting myself to the test, and never being afraid to learn a new skill. I am a hard worker who not only knows what she’s capable of but is prepared to do what’s necessary to get where I want to be in life.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I definitely was the child that gave my parents a run for their money, but I like to think in a good way. I am very similar to how I am now, as in I wanted to be involved in everything under the sun. I tried playing baseball and basketball, and I’m pretty sure I only ran track for 3 days. I joined choir, cheer, and I was even on the debate team, I auditioned for every play and fashion show possible, and I even auditioned for The Voice. Whatever I wanted to try, trust me, I tried it. And whether I was good at it or not, I always lived my life wanting no regrets.
