Work History

Self Employed

Self Employed
03.2019 - Current

During the past five years I have been investing my money to increase my financial net worth so that i could get back into business ownership, management and directing. I am a strongly motivated individual, very organized and detail orientated with a very strong work ethic. I thrive in a leadership position and working with others on a regular basis. I enjoy working and interacting with others.

I do well working under pressure and providing solutions to problems and delegating tasks. Anything I start I will follow through to completion. I thrive on being involved in the day to day operation's that are involved with business ownership and management.

I am always exploring new ways to expand and grow and create more employment opportunities within my business environment.

Classic Cars, Travelling, Reading, Volunteering,

I enjoy classic and modern cars. This has been my passion since I was a little girl. I enjoy researching, collecting and owning automobiles. I currently own a 1968 SS Chevy Nova which i enjoy driving and working on.


I enjoy giving back to the community in which I reside in. Volunteering has always been a hobby and a passion for me.

I have been involved with seniors centers, food banks, homeless, children's programs, night to shine and many more. I have a compassionate and loving heart for others.


I enjoy reading and learning new things.


Travelling and experiencing new cultures is very interesting to me.
