I was born September 18, 1984 in Rock Island, IL.
It was when I was 5 years old, that I had an interest in drawing. I loved it! I especially enjoyed drawing freehand architecture.
From then on I was blessed to have won many art competitions, received recognition throughout my art years, and have build genuine relationships with several youth organizations; in which I designed logos for.
| Current Whereabouts: |
| I am into building genuine relationships with like minded individuals. I am a reserved person, but engaging with someone who speaks of great substance, enables me to be vocal.
For the last couple of years, I've also been blessed to have worked for quite a few nonprofit organizations. Such a ride! I learned how to connect and mentor to at-risk teens. Many of which, were homeless teens; who sought for encouragement.
As of last year, I served as a literacy tutor/ after school facilitator for North Kenwood-Oakland Charter school, in Hyde Park. (Chicago). It was there that I had the chance to interact with first-fifth graders on a tutoring level. That was hard work, but fulfilling work too. The coolest thing was Louis Farrakhan's 2 grandchildren attended the school as well! They were suck nice and respectable kids. I enjoyed teaching them, along with the other youth. |
| Life & Professional Aspirations: |
| I want to one day become a youth minister!
I want to one day break out of my shyness!
I want to one day own a barber shop!
I want to one day be an architectural historian!
*These are just a few goals* |
