My Inspiration

There are two main people that I gain my drive from to be a successful venture capitalist. The first being my mother who also attended University of Maryland and majored in Business, who is now a successful Human Resoures Manager at a major company, the second being my father who is an entrepreneur; who owns and manages his own barbershop in Washington D.C. My parents even though are very different with different career paths both strive and have always strived to be the best at what they do, making their career choice as well as their life very enjoyable. I strive to become a successful business woman like my mother, who owns my own company like my father.

My Business Dreams & Goals

The biggest project I am working on is to one day own and establish a non-profit organization that will be a health and wellness center catering to Woman with terminal life changing illnesses such as HIV, HPV, Cancer, Lupus and so forth. This center will build self-esteem as well as include mental, emotional, and phsyical therapy exercises to help my clients live more positive fullfilling lives.
