I am an advocate for change. As a speaker I have been voluntarily facilitating and touching audiences periodically the last 15 years. Speaking on the themes of responsibility and action; my main focus is the subject on reaching goals with passionate determination and intelligent balance. I have also volunteered time to educate teens in high schools about drug abuse and displaying responsible behavior for a successful life. While working full time counseling and traveling the United States as a spokes model, I earned a B.S. degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Counseling and graduated cum laude. My further education includes life coaching certifications and a Masters of Science in Management.

Previous life experience also afforded me the joys and life lessons of being a child immigrant at age 10, teen mother at the age of 18, and cancer survivor at the age of 27; all of which have fine-tuned my belief that “there are lessons to be learned in everything and it’s up to us what we do with them.” I am now more passionate for experiencing life fully, and learning from each event for the purpose of living a life worth living. My overall approach to life is filled with energy, curiosity and wonder, and that is what I like to share with every interaction.
