I grew up with a mom who taught me work ethic. As far back as I can remember, I worked. I was also creative. I loved anything that I could bring to life from my mind. It fueled me in college as I worked toward a degree in Art. Somewhere along the journey, I wasn't sure that Art would sustain me financially. With the help of a manager at a restaurant where I worked, I decided also to get a degree in Public Relations. I have been communicating with people in work environments since my youth. I learned that I was good at being creative and communicating. That was my jumping-off point. I landed in various sales roles, mainly in the medical field, and primarily worked in the hospice industry. I was fortunate to expand my knowledge of business and leadership with a few companies. I also was privileged to work for several non-profit organizations and learn the ins and outs of fundraising.As time passed, I decided to expand my work. I began doing consulting work for Public Relations and I began painting on a commission basis, even opening an art gallery with a fellow artist. I also decided to pick up my camera which had been dormant for years. I began taking pictures for a few clients and learning more about the digital world in sales and marketing.I realized that I had a deep desire to help people. It had been there from the beginning and it was the underlying thread that connected my work. I began writing and teaching Bible studies about 14 years ago. As my public speaking skills grew I was able to branch out and teach larger groups.Last year I completed my Christian Life Coaching Certification and I continue to work toward my Trauma Certification. I enjoy helping people move forward in life and overcome negative past experiences.
