At 15 years old I was recruited as a vocalist / motivational speaker to take part in a nation wide anti-bullying campaign, "Teen Nation Tour."

At 18 years old, as a local artist, I decided to start a similar non-profit campaign serving San Antonio and the surrounding areas. I served the community for two years.

My San Antonio performance was similar to the Teen Nation Tour Program. It included singing, dancing and having fun with the crowd, while delivering an important message. I made it a point to engage the crowd at each performance. I used to bring someone on stage with me to perform. This, always delighted the audience. It was a very rewarding experience.
