I just turned 40 and I'm from Miami Beach, FL. Miami has allowed me to learn about so many different cultures, ethnicities, and religions. I feel that being exposed to so much helped me learn a lot about how to deal with different personalities. 

After working in so many settings, I came to the conclusion that I really love motivating people and helping them find their true potential. Nothing makes me happier than seeing others prosper and watching them make their dreams come true. 

Therefore, I decided this was the path I wanted to take. Of course, I had doubts of my own such as in my abilities, in my worthiness, and in my capabilities. I'm human after all. However, time proved that I was just avoiding the inevitable. My journey was always to spread as much joy to as many people that crossed my path. Whether it's at home, work, or buying coffee. Nobody was able to get away from my endless quest to help them find their true potential. Some people can look at someone and see a person, I look at them and I see endless possibilities. See the world through my eyes I say and you will find happiness. 

It's your individual journey, tap into your power!
