"Look Ma! No Hands!"

As a Jersey Shore native and the fiancé of the most incredible and handsome man that I have ever met, (Derrick), I am happily living my dreams in Charleston, SC!  Little by little, day by day, I get closer to the goals I’ve set and the dreams I have imagined…life is truly incredible – if you chose for it to be! 

My parents always encouraged me to live my life to the fullest. My mother showed me how to fearlessly dream BIG and my father taught me that NOTHING stands in the way of me and those dreams (especially on the soccer field!). I've learned that everything truly does happen for a reason and being a little bit better today than I was yesterday is the driving force behind everything I do.

Inspired by a year of service with the AmeriCorps in North Charleston back in 2009, I continue to pursue my passion for helping people! I jokingly tell Derrick that I have "two helps" (my left hand and right hand) and every morning that I wake up I know there is someone could use those helps! It’s my purpose to find them!

You might not think of it this way often, but I believe that every person has a story and at the same time, I believe that every person has the opportunity to live a happy and healthy life.  Even the person with the worst childhood and the fewest role models has an opportunity to create a happy and healthy life. Whether they see the opportunity and chose to take it…well, life is all about choices and nothing worth having ever comes easy!

I am a certified Group Exercise Instructor, Nutrition Consultant, and NC and SC Realtor. I went to college at The College of NJ for Social Psychology and Criminal Justice. I was the mentor coordinator and interim director for the Lowcountry Civic Justice Corps (a re-entry program for male, non violent, ex offenders) and I am only just beginning! I've done a little bit of a lot and I am focused on allowing real estate fund my passion for helping people! By January 1st 2014 Derrick and I will have a Health and Wellness Facility here in Charleston, SC (stay tuned for that!) and by January 1st, 2018 I will have a 501(c)3 operating under our Wellness Center in support of ex-offenders re-entering the community. 

Derrick and I made a commitment to each other that together we will change the world. So that is what we will do, one person at a time...this is a small example of that commitment!
