Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To take over the world, one high five at a time.
ABOUT ME
I'm a lucky lady. I have an awesome family and great friends. My son is my heart and soul. I honestly do not know where I would be today if I didn't have him. I served in the United States Marine Corps and gained an appreciation for the diversity in the US. I don't know where life is taking me, but I'm up for the ride.
PHILOSOPHY
I may be 5 ft, 2 in, but I walk and feel like I am 6 ft tall. I have learned to show love to people bc sometimes they may not have as much as I do. I can not change the world over night, but I can try. High fives go a long way. DANCE!
