Certification

I Completed The John Hopkins

COVID 19 Contact Tracing Course.


Aug 14, 2013

I received my Certificate as a Foster Parent

Jewelry designer, Poet, Home decorator

These are just a few of my passions, I was inspired to make jewelry for a woman that had twelve children , married for almost twenty years.

I asked her to give me all the names of her children along with her full name and her husbands. I made the family of 14 key chains with their first and last names on all. of the, when I gave them to her she was speechless.

Poetry is a way for me to express my love for life and people, most of the recent poems I wrote is about the love I have for a man I call my Vitamin D. I always end my poems about him while most of them say "you know who you are"

Home decor and another passion , I enjoy recycling boxes , water bottles turning each item into something useful, I will turn trash into tresaure.
