My father was a pastor so my house was always a hub of activity. Every weekend the entire congregation would have dinner at my house. Guess who got stuck watching the kids? Me of course. I came to enjoy spending time with children and helping them develop through various stages of life. To this day, I am serving as a positive role model and mentor for several of those very same children. I currently work in the healthcare field as a companion and home maker. I have CPR, EKG, Clinical Nurse Assistant, Emergency Responder and Phlebotomist licenses. I am looking for an auxiliary source of income to help cushion the financial weight of my academic career. In the fall of 2016, I am starting my enrollment in the computer science program at Southern State University.
