Awards
Sales person of the month
At Forehand Enterprise, we were always challenged to do our best. I was awarded with a plaque for top seller of the month, 3 months in a row.
Scholarship to John Casablanca Modeling and Career Center June 1994
I was selected to do a hair show for Tresemme hair products. In front of a live audience I sat on stage while the hairstylist did whatever they wanted to my hair. I had no ideal what they were going to do.
Once they were done I walked down the catwalk, then I stepped off stage to walk around each audience member so they could take pictures.
It was alot of fun, I knew then and there I loved the spotlight. Certifications and Licenses

Additional Information
Writing and Journalism talents:
I come from a talented family of musicians and song writers. It was amazing to be a part of that. Not only did I learn to write, I also learned to play the fiddle. By the time I was eight, I wrote my first song. Since then I have written hundreds of songs, poetry, articles, short stories, and a few books.
I took creative writing and Journalism in school. I excelled in those classes. I felt like it was tailore made for me.
In the early ninetys, I was published by The National Library of Poetry, in a book called An Hour at Sunrise.
Although writing and journalism are hobbies of mine, I had always hoped that one day I would make a career out of it.
Life can take unforseen turns and get in the way of your dreams. I'm now in a position in my life where nothing is holding me back. I'm exhilarated to see what the future holds for me.
