About

I am a fun loving and goal-oriented lady ready to take the world by storm. I have completed an undergraduate degree in Health Administration. I am on track to complete my MBA at Columbia Southern University in spring of 2017. I have spent most of my career working in state government helping indigent and low income families. In my new role I will continue to help my community and assist people in changing their lives and the lives of generations to come for the better.

I am so excited about a future project I am working on. I currently work in state government. However I will soon be transitioning into my own Non-profit business.

This program is designed to ensure all members of the family live their best lives possible by helping needy families to bridge the gaps in technology, education, economics, socially and spiritually.
