I am not just a role model, I am a mentor. As a Masters graduate, I understand the significance of preparing for the future and I also understand how important it is to play a role in the community that aids in preparing our youth for their future. I have been preteen, teen, and young adult model mentor for the past three years for New Jersey Based non profit organization the Living Dolls Project. As both model and role model, mentoring, empowering, and inspiring our next generation is of high priority.

I am amazed at how much I have managed to accomplish in such a short amount of time and am looking forward to what future endeavors will bring. I was told on many occasion that I would have even made it this far, however, I am a firm believer that you should be the light at the end of your own tunnel. While most people make plans for when they grow up, I just make plans to grow.
