Hello There World!

I’m excited, terrified and inspired all rolled up into one huge, magnificent mass of positivity infused humanness! From an introverted, 89 lb. crack-induced, hot mess of a human being to a “Warrior4All Life” to an extrovert filled with compassion for humanity and the plights of a variety of life journeys. I am who I am because I’m not someone else. For this I am grateful.

While you figure that part out; here’s a few highlights of what fuels my passion for humanity as a whole.

I’ve worked tirelessly within at-risk populations over 24 years by serving as a “stealth mode community advocate” which has included: Enhancing lives within my community with resources, donations and referrals to assist with getting their lives back on track. There has been a dire and ongoing need for food, shelter and clothing for the homeless, providing alternative life skills training and advocacy to assist those with substance use disorders and mental health issues, ensuring individuals affected by domestic violence and crimes have a voice and shoring up individuals and families to become the healthiest members of our communities they can be under any given set of circumstances.

Former Executive Director of Family Services for a nonprofit homeless shelter; San Joaquin County Court Liaison Recognition; Co-Author and birth mother of “Ownership Life Skills Training” taught by my best friend within a criminal rehabilitation setting for the past 20 years; Substance Abuse Counselor (CCAPP Certified-CADC-I); Current Substance Abuse Program Supervisor at San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services. Public speaker for at-risk populations across the realm of humanity and spreading my Queen Wings within this magnificent work.

We are not broken and not all things broken remain so. Fix it, even if it means starting with self. This is who I am at my very core. I was born in “The Quarters” in Sugar Land, Texas and raised by the good, bad and the ugly of my life experiences. Who knows where the next chapter leads. There’s always a next chapter.
