Just a heads up, I’m getting a little personal on my professional page. 7 years ago on 08/16 was my first day of work after being a stay at home mom for many years. I still remember feeling so anxious, excited, overwhelmed, scared, but I did it anyway. My first grown up job I took at 20, grew with me personally and even became a part of who I am. I wouldn’t picture myself being anywhere else. I never miss my kids games or events, I’m not held to a schedule, I get to help people in the best of ways. I would work here for completely free, and never think twice about leaving. So I wanted to share a little about me when I’m not completely obsessive with my career and making it my complete personality.
1. I was a teen mom, graduated early with my advanced diploma, and went to college for my passion in drug abuse counseling as I am an advocate for addicts.
2. I am head of the fundraising committee at a local youth league, and volunteer my time as a Varsity Cheer Coach.
3. My favorite time of the year is Christmas, and my love language is gift giving. I love being a “elf” and sponsoring multiple children every year and teaching my kids the same love for giving.
4. I am passionate about Cancer Awareness and Research and donate a part of my earnings every month to our blood and cancer center for children, as my grandfather passed after a hard battle with cancer.
5. I have 7 chronic illnesses, and a blood disorder. At 24 I suffered a large Pulmonary Embolism and at 26 a small stroke. I still suffer side effects.
6. I prefer cold weather to hot weather.
7. I am a major advocate for special needs children, and offer my support and knowledge for parents that need an advocate.
8. The Office is my comfort show and I hate anything scary.
9. My favorite hobby’s are photography, reading, writing, and promoting small businesses.
10. I’m a night owl, and love the dark.
11. My favorite color is black, and my favorite music is anything and everything sad.
12. I love to learn about everything, if there is something I do not know, I will obsessively research it.
13. What you see is typically what you get, I speak before I think, I wear my opinions on my face, I take things exactly how they’re said, as some of these things may be perceived as negative, it also comes with an open mind, overwhelming empathy, compassion, and a love for growth and empowerment.
14. Some weird facts about me, my favorite number is 12, I buy almost everything in 3’s, and if I hear a song I love, I will keep it on repeat for days until I’m tired of it.
Happy 7 years to me, I’m proud of myself, my drive, my dreams, my job, and I love all of my clients from IL, to NC, WV, KY, TN, MD, and VA. And all over the country. I love my team. My people. My company. Here’s to 7 more years. 🥂🩵
