Words of Encouragement: “During the course of my life I have learned that true happiness comes from always remembering the promise for a better tomorrow. No matter how hard it gets don’t forget that we are meant to bend sometimes, but NEVER break. Determination is the key. Don’t become stagnant with your desires and aspirations. There is always another goal to reach and another dream waiting to come true.”

Current positions: Committee member of Archonette Club and Community Service.
Words of Encouragement: "We often go through life facing various challenges. We face those challenges head on because we must, however, in our minds and hearts we wonder, “Why me?”
I have learned three major lessons during my life journey. The first lesson that I have learned in facing a challenge is to say, “Why not me?” (And mean it). The second lesson that I have
learned is to be ready and willing to embrace a challenge and to meet that challenge with faith, confidence and a plan. Those three elements will always see you through the tough times.
The third, but not final lesson that I have learned is to understand that God has a plan for us that supersedes any challenges that we may face and more often than not
those life challenges are what prepares us for God’s work.”
