Special skills:
I mange
people’s lives for a living. I am forever organizing people’s lives and
businesses. I am good at seeing someone’s dream and turning it into reality.
The fact that I am well versed in writing, producing, and public speaking gives
me the power to be great at what I do.
Describe your job story:
I’ve been in
love with reading and writing from a young age, winning awards for writing
short stories from the 3rd grade. As I got older I struggled to
figure out what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to be in charge of whatever it
was. I joined the United States Navy right after high school, to protect and
serve and to find my path. After five years, It wasn’t until my last year in
the military that I realized what I wanted. I wanted to be in the media, I
wanted to write, inform and educate people about what was going on in the
world. I decided to finish up my Bachelors degree, graduating Magna Cum Laude
from Clark Atlanta University. Concentration Mass Media Arts, I knew that I
wanted a career that didn’t feel like work, I want to wake up every morning and
be excited about what I’m doing, and I’ve found that in media.
What did you want to be when you were a
child/ teenager?
As a child
my imagination ran wild! I was everywhere, I wanted to be Tony Danza from Who’s
the Boss? Lol until my mom told me that wasn’t happening, she was like your not
cleaning up houses! He just looked so happy! I wanted to be a doctor, and
singer. Now I realize even as I child my main focus was to be happy, that is
the thing that is most important to me.
Are doing your dream job?
I haven’t
landed my dream job yet, but I’m on the path I want to be and I’m in the field
that I love. I am fulfilling my dreams everyday by seeing my hard work turn
into reality.
What do you like MOST about what you do?
What do you like the LEAST?
I love being
in charge and organizing things because I love to see things come together. It
makes me happy that I am the key person in someone’s journey to their dreams. This
the life that I chose.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5
years?
In the next
5 years I see myself establishing multiple businesses in different markets and
helping others establish their dreams of being a business owner. I want to be
one of the biggest names in brand management.
Are you happy with where you are in life?
I am happy
at where I’m at in life because I feel like I am exactly where I’m suppose to be
and every goal that I set for myself a few years ago, I’ve accomplished and
exceeded. I am happy but I am not content. I’m always trying to get better!
What more do you want to do with your life?
I want to
wake up every day and love what I’m doing, I want to change lives in any way I
can, and tell people my story. I want to live my life to fullest, with no
regrets.
What drives/motivates you?
My need to
always do better and my fear of being less then the best motivates me. I truly
believe that the only competition, I have is myself, so every time I accomplish
something, I’m already thinking “what else can I do to get closer to my others
goal?” “What else can I do to add value to me?”
What else do you do?
I am
currently working two more jobs at the U.S. Department of Education (Office of Civil Rights) as an
Automation Clerk, and at 11Alive
News as a Producer. I am also taking Small Business
Management courses.
What is your advice to those who are
seeking employment and have no hope?
Always try to do things that enhance your
worth, take classes, learn a new skill, and find what makes you happy. Don’t be
afraid to try new things and be persistence.
