Affiliations

Helping others has always come natural, as well as being patient and understanding of cultural differences along with privacy. Ability to compromise and find different ways of tending to the needs of individual's, such as music, art, dancing, crafting or just listening and conversing. Adaptability to overcome any situation in a constructive manner and ending on a positive ground is my goal. Compassion, kindness, understanding and sensitivity has always been in my heart. To care for others has always made me the happiest.
