About
At the present moment, I work two jobs, am pursuing a BS in Sociology, and living my amazing life of being a newly wed. My first job is a Managing Partner of CNS Inc. I started with this company 12 years ago, when I was 18 years old. I was offered partnership at 23 years old, and have continued building this company into what it is today, working 40 hours a week, delegating employees, handling customer concerns, and doing the books, marketing, and ordering for our salons. Yet over time, I realized that I was ready for a change and wanted to start to work on a second career. I began going back to school 2 and a half years ago, to slowly work on getting my Bachelor's. I did this, while running the salons. Well, if I didn't have enough on my plate, I added being an administrative assistant for a Bankruptcy lawyer, to learn a whole different side of things. I have taken on that job part time in the mornings, go to my salons at night, and pursue school online. I feel that in order to make dreams come true, you need to work hard and be open to any opportunity that comes your way.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
As I transition out of my first career into my second, I wanted to continue to be involved with people in any way. Whether it is to helping people with problems, issues or concerns in their every day life to helping make their lives easier with coordinating memorable events for them. I decided in a Sociology Major because of the broad spectrum it can be used for. I can either go further and go to Grad school and become a therapist to help those in need or I can work in Event Coordinating or PR to help people in a different way.
- Outside the classroom
When I am not working one of my jobs or studying, I enjoy exercising. Cycling classes and Pilates classes are my favorite. I feel so good after exercise, just like everyone else. If I can't get to a class, a good hike on Runyon Canyon with a friend is always nice, especially living in Southern California. I also just love being with my friends and family. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by a great group of friends and a loving family, that I try to spend as much time with them when I can. Lastly, any opportunity I get, I travel. I had gone to Europe for the first time this past September, and it was the trip of a life time. I would love to add more stamps to my passport to see the world and all the amazing cultures out there.
