Tell me about yourself…
As a child of God, Small Business consultant and developer, therapist, life coach and teacher. I have been able to translate most of my own life lessons, educational experience and spiritual growth into personal development which I hope to share with others. I graduated from college with a B.A. in Sociology in order to learn, support, and educate the community on social problems. That quickly turned into the urgency to complete my Masters in Social Work, leading to an array of experience in clinical and administrative work. In other words I have been everything from a therapist to program developer. I am currently an adjunct professor in a graduate program at Rutgers University for social workers as well as I maintain my therapist cap… With all my professional caps; my real love is service to help through human services and therapy; which honestly after all these years still aligns with both, my professional and personal beliefs of serving my community one person, group or organization at a time…
What motivates you to keep going?
I am truly motivated by my love for God and family. I live by the belief that we are here on earth to love and service others. We are connected and I believe my passion to help others improve their quality of life through personal and professional development only strengthen the world we all live in.
Do you feel your life is balanced between your personal and professional life?
Away from my business, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family and friends, plus staying active in Zumba and Bokwa classes. Additionally, travelling is one of my favorite pastimes and sports holds a special place in my heart along with soul music, film and theater. The passions in my life are balanced and fueled by my beliefs and a lifelong quest for understanding and peace; they reaffirm my faith and commitment to servicing the community.
