1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
​I was born in Philadelphia, PA and lived in Willingboro, NJ from adolescence to adulthood. I consider both of them to be my hometowns, and I currently reside in Lithonia, GA. I am a mother and a US Army veteran. Currently, I am a Media Ministry Director and a freelance Corporate Media Specialist. My interests include travel, technology, video, photography, and serving others through outreach.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
One of the residual benefits of being in this business for me has been my personal growth! In my career field, I work in the background to help make others look great at what they do. And I absolutely love helping people! However, I am an introvert so I really needed (and continue) to stretch myself in the areas of relationship-building and leadership. Additionally, I began to rebrand myself as a businesswoman (vs. employee only) and by doing so, I have attracted more of the caliber of individuals that I would want to partner with. My self-confidence has grown not only in this business, but also in life! Stretching and growing has not necessarily been “comfortable.” However, I know that my comfort zone and my money zone are not located in the same area! So I enthusiastically continue this journey to become the best version of myself!

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Financial freedom and the opportunity to design the lifestyle that I want is the key motivator for me. I am looking forward to being debt-free and blessing my family and community financially. I am motivated knowing that my daughter will receive the benefit of my work for the rest of her life through the PlanNet Pledge when I expire. Also, I am passionate about helping as many families as I can enhance their lifestyles and finances through PlanNet Marketing!

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role model in life is my grandmother, Francis Williams. She was a hardworking woman who raised five boys. She served her church and community in many ways. Although she only had a fourth grade education, as a community activist, she helped to influence legislation in Pennsylvania to benefit senior citizens for years to come! I consider her a success because she never let education, finances, health, motherhood, or anything else keep her from making an impact in the lives of others.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Transparent, Positive, and Trustworthy!

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
My coach, Eileen Ross, says all the time, “Help enough people get what they want and you will get what you want.” You will save yourself a lot of time if you listen to your success coach/mentor! She or he wants you to win! Make the recommended corrections and adjustments and your business will move forward. Stay coachable, focused, consistent, plugged in, humble, and hungry. The only way that you lose is if you quit! Refuse to lose! Your success is on the other side of your fears…so JUMP!!!

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
We’ve all got the golden ticket to create an above average lifestyle here at PlanNet Marketing! In five years, I will be financially free. I’ll be pursuing my philanthropic endeavors. And I’ll be at least a Five-Star Director traveling around the world helping others to claim their “Golden Ticket” too!
