About Myself
I am a former 13-year resident from St. Thomas, USVI, and I have worked in the Jacksonville & surrounding counties since 1995. My background shaped my love for all things, music, food, design, and art. Always seeking a challenge, I obtained degrees/certificates in Business Writing and Total Quality Management. I am presently seeking a teaching degree. I work at a CSS school. I help with the fundraising for different charities, such as the Wounded Warrior Project and United Child Cancer Fund. I am involved in several groups, such as the Shower her With Hope, which helps teenage pregnancy, MHBC women's ministry, reaching out to women in poor countries, like Kenya. I enjoy watching people/students learn in an "out of the box" way. I am an extremely loyal and dedicated individual. I am excited about my next career move.
