CURRENT MISSION

Laugh. Love. Live

ABOUT ME

I am a gregarious, spontaneous person who loves life! I am always up for exploration or a chilled out chat with friends. I think I can be a little crazy when I need to be and serious too! I am an eternal optimist and thrive on helping others. I am passionate about education and contributing to the lives of the disadvantaged.

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem!!! All the way! I often am caught saying "what happens if you get hit by a bus tomorrow" or " I am so happy, I could die". I treasure each day if it is my last.
