I am constantly pushing myself to accomplish another goal and always try to remain open minded to further myself towards accomplishing my passions. I used to work as a education specialist at a reputable investment company until  I decided to pursue my passion which was to educate and use my creativity to launch my own gift boutique and create a blog to increase children savings awareness. I am slowly making strides to grow my business focusing on offering my artwork and gift creations. I am also finishing my art degree with hopes to educate our youth in ways to use creativity as an outlet to navigate through the adversity life can often bring.

Aside from that I also love to write stories, poetry and enjoy blogging. I love reading interesting and insightful work from others as well as enjoying various poetry pieces and spoken word.

What Makes Me Beautiful / What Beauty Means to Me
Seeing beauty in others and giving myself as much as I can. Beauty means shining your light on others to make their life better.

My Favorite Quote
“It's better to take a chance and be wrong than to be safe and dull'…jump in and‘do’, it is necessary to make mistakes in order to achieve creativity.”-Nikki Giovanni
