About Me
Combining my love for business and nonprofits has led me to develop a career in social change that enables me to fulfill a life long dream of changing the world. This is success, the way I define it!
Career
an entrepreneur
- 2007 Nan Langowitz Women Who Make a Difference
- 2007 President's Volunteer Service Award
My career originally began when I was just 7 years old. I found that what made me happiest was helping others with their problems and enabling them to do better for themselves. To my surprise, this "hobby" turned out to be the focus of my life.
parents, professors (who are now good friends and/or mentors), successful people that I know and/or admire, Kimora Lee Simmons (she's a little over the top but I can't get enough of her)
My Life So Far
New York City and Pleasant Valley
exploring my options
English-fluent, Spanish-proficient, French-basic
- being a pioneer, not conforming to cultural norms
- getting a 4-year, full tuition academic scholarship!
- deciding what I do NOT want to do with my life
- recognized as a Women Who Makes a Difference
- 2nd person in my entire family to get my Bachelors degree (will be 2nd when I get my Masters too)
Jamaica, Texas, England, France, Vegas, Florida, Penn., and hopefully much more in the next five yrs!

Personal Details
I can't say I have a favorite movie but my favorite genres are: comedy, action, horror, suspense and mystery, drama. Anything that is interesting to be honest, doesn't matter what genre. Oh no, I do have a favorite...Who Framed Rogger Rabbit. Love that movie!
Don't have much time to watch TV but when I do, I'm usually watching MSNBC, CNN, Weather Channel, Discovery Channel, Adult Swim and HBO.
R&B, Hip-Hop, some Country, anything that sounds good and makes me want to move!
Another Country and The Outsiders are my all-time favorites! However, there are too many others to list. Send me a message and I'll give you a few titles.
Making Social Change A Reality (http://thelpproject.blogspot.com)
I love cooking so food would be my most guilty pleasure. I love to travel so making sure I eat a dish from each country/culture is my ultimate goal.
When am I not working?
This is such a broad question. I have so many interests that merely thinking of writing them down makes me anxious :)

Welcome to YSN! I am very impressed with your portfolio as well as your drive to help the less fortunate. Also, nice work getting a full academic scholarship! I am very envious as I am paying back Uncle Sam. :)
