From being a home maker then to business owner operator with a double degree, and with a passion to help better our future by reaching out to those individuals either with street involvement, gang involvement and or that have struggle with addictions, grief and loss and are currently like myself on their healing journey from life's unfortunate turn of events. Like many other I too have had gone through life's struggles in order to find the closure that I needed from loosing my late husband whom was murdered.
With the knowledge that I have gained from the struggles to which I have had to survive. I discovered that during the process of Grieg and Loss this opens the door to individuals whom are waiting for their chance to take advantage of individual like myself apart and use it to their advantage. I was at one point a successful business which I decided to close due to COVID in 2019. Then taking my education and used it begin researching at a street level.
Currently I am rebuilding my life and seek employment within your organization and to repair my name for both a credit stand point and professional stand point.

Custom

After my late husband passed away I invested in a business plan and took to the streets to find out first hand what our people were facing and uncovering factual information that would better help and keep people from becoming affected or reaching this level of hardship within their lifetime.
