She is known to be an analytic, however, LOVES all things creative.  She cooks, sews, paints, is obsessed with DIY, crafting, nails and hair… you get the picture, lol.  She is currently completing her MBA at Howard University while also pursuing her Six Sigma certification on a path to Black Belt, all while balancing her career and busy family.  Her family is her primary fuel: she strives to make them happy, healthy, and proud. Her 2nd source of fuel is her integrity. She is driven to do the right thing. That is at the core of every decision she makes and action she takes. “Be your authentic self unapologetically because you are perfectly imperfect” is a motto she strives to live by.  She also reads the following EVERYDAY "The world said be invisible, she heard BE INVINCIBLE," (author unknown).
