About

I am native of Rockford, IL I have been a self-sufficient entrepreneur since the age of 10. At the age of 15 I started college in pursuit of a psychology degree with a double major in business and at the humble age of 17 I went off to Kansas State University to complete my education on a track scholarship. At the age of 19 I moved to California to pursue a career in Cosmetology. I am now a licensed/credentialed Teacher-Instructor and south eastern Territory Account Brand Manager (for Macadamia Professional). I relocated from Los Angeles, CA where I resided for the last 7 years. I moved to Atlanta, GA to fulfill the requirements of my fellowship as the co-research chair through Georgia Tech School of Business. I am seeking a management/director opportunity with a company that will allow me to flourish and master my competencies.

Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in organizational management and consulting. I chose this field of study because of my creative abilities and a sincere desire to assist and work with people. I am the former co-owner of two salons and I continue to further my education, so one day I am able to take on a CEO or COO executive position. I aspire to change the way in which the world views business one day at a time and I want to assure myself that I am well equipped and able to do so, which is why I have academically armed myself through the years.

My plans for the future are not only to further my education but to also obtain a position in a company that utilizes job training to promote individual opportunity and growth development, while contributing to the success of the organization. I believe that if there is a will, there is a way to achieve all endeavors in life that I might pursue. With great efforts, I have removed many obstacles in life and I feel my opportunities for success are limitless.
