About (request update)

I am United States Veteran, someone that is in love with all things travel. In love with life and everything it has to offer, as I end my career in the military, I decide to go back to what I know and love. Which was being creative. I love to write, communicate, and learning about different parts of the world. My last professor told me, "You are so in touch with who you are, do what you want, and make it yours."

I decided to start looking for schools that were excellent in mass communications and in business. I found Clark Atlanta University, decide it was the one for me. Enrolled, and graduated in two and half years with great honor. I love that experience,

I ended up intering for Nancy Grace at HLN, got a job working as a producer at 11alive, when I thought I really wanted to be reporter. Thats how fast it was! Then I decide to start my own business, which is brand managing and consulting. Went into business with my friend and now i'm a small business owner and of course I help to develop and manage our brand which is Fitness As A Lifestyle. LLC and we are know opening our first location in Atlanta.

This all while working full time for the government and just being a women with a dream, ambition, and just actually owning what I am truly good at.

I love what I'm doing, because I rather take a chance and fail, then too never take a chance and regret.
