CURRENT MISSION

To be simple, free, and be of service to those who do not have such privileges.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mid-40sprofessional, with my head in the air and my feet on the ground. I'm a dreamer and usually accomplish many of those dreams! I'm a southern girl by birth with a latin american spirit who loves to dance, thanks to the Dominican people who showed me that dance is a way of life! Love the outdoors, being healthy, eating vegetarian, and music and adventure.
