1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I currently reside in Raleigh, North Carolina by way of Baltimore, Maryland. My hobbies are travel and shopping. I am a proud mother to an amazing eleven-year-old son, Jaiden, and am a wife. I have a background with the Department of Corrections. I have been an entrepreneur for 15 months now. I am a 20/20 Club Member as well as a One-Star Director.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Since joining PlanNet Marketing, my personal growth has been through the roof. I have truly adopted the winning culture that surrounds me. I have more posture, as Mr. Bradley would say. I have expanded my mind which has allowed me to expand my pockets.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My drive and motivation has always been my son. I became pregnant at seventeen years old, and as a teen mom, I was determined for my son to have all his heart desired. I love my parents and am grateful for everything they have done. Growing up in our household, my siblings and I were raised on survival and not love. Due to this, it fueled the go-getter mentality I had inside. By any means necessary I would make sure my son and I would survive. The difference is I was determined to do it in a more loving and nurturing way for him. He is the reason I will not stop and I do not accept "NO," and why I do not allow other people's perception of what my fate should be to deter me.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role model is myself (the person I see in the mirror). Life growing up was tough, then I became a young mom myself but never once have I allowed it to embitter me. I have never used my upbringing as an excuse; I simply allow it to fuel me so I go out and get it. I'm an action taker, I'm determined and I cannot be stopped. I have a heart of gold and I know that my blessings will always come tenfold.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Loyal, Ambitious, Selfless.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
If I had to give some sound advice it would be: You control your success or the lack there of. With that said, make the determination today that you will be successful and you will go after everything you deserve. Make the commitment in your mind that you will not stop until you do and you will not make any excuses along the way.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, my life looks amazing. I will have a sixteen-year-old son who has touched the world with many of his own amazing ideas and inventions. I will be a millionaire. I will have several Directors in my organization. I will still be helping as many families as I can into the opportunity. I will have purchased lots of land and set my family up for success.
