 In 2003, I founded Pearls by Choice.  The program's origins began as an abstinence-based ministry. I taught and mentored teenage girls on the importance of maintaining a healthy self-esteem and choosing true safe sexual practices.  I authored a four-part curriculum to accompany and facilitate the workshops. 

Even with my many obligations, my most treasured roles are wife and mother. I am a proud parent of four children.

New things inspire me. I am the type of person who likes to change up my hairstyle or clothing style often. For me, too much of the same can get mundane.
