Bio

Hi there, so grateful to meet you, selected or not thank you for simply providing the opportunity! Being the first in my family, to ever peruse a higher education, had already checked off a major task from my list of accomplishments; but as life progressed and I became independent at the age of 19, funding that dream molded into something rather difficult. My experience, setbacks included, added fuel to my career goal of become a successful business manager and mentor. Creating the perfect platform to later provide accessible doors for people like myself who has more passion than they do opportunities is the mission. With the help from anyone willing, I can make it to the finish line with only a few more semesters to go, and begin many other generational firsts for myself and for multiple other “Generators” like me. (Generator: a term I came up with to describe anyone who’s had enough drive and bravery to step out on faith to do something that no one around them has done before!)

    Bold Driven Scholarship
    I’d like to introduce myself as a“Generator”, a term I came up with to describe anyone who’s had enough drive and bravery to step out on faith to do something that no one around them has done before. Being the first in my family, to ever peruse a higher education, had already checked off a major task from my list accomplishments; but as life progressed and I became independent at the age of 19, funding that dream molded into something rather difficult. Noticing this may be a roadblock for others like me, started a fuel to begin planning how to create accessible avenues for people the after me. My career goal is to become a successful business manager and mentor, creating the perfect platform for one of my biggest goals, to create accessible doors for people like myself who has more passion than they do opportunities. The end goal is to open up “Generator centers” that is more or less a plaza to gain knowledge about leaps vital to both personal and generational growth! These buildings will office many well verse individuals from all walks of life; financial gurus, higher education advisors, marketplace mentors, investment guiders and so much more. With partnerships from anyone willing, I will make it a one-stop place for anyone in need of a “how-to”. Giving others the chance to start their own cycle generational firsts molding themselves into multiple other “Generators” like me. While at this stage of my grand plan, I am in the process of documenting what I seek to do for many reasons! One being to hold myself accountable and another, to give way for someone else is, God forbid I am unable. Greatness and growth has no boundaries when is a plan we are all on board with
    Bold Simple Pleasures Scholarship
    My 18 year old self would answer that completely different but she was also very disconnected from what truly matters, inner joy. Right after any big hangout was an even bigger concern. The girl I know today would say, most times in perfect stillness, alone in my car with my favorite snack, just watching everyone live, I feel most euphoria. Since understanding the power of stillness, It’s almost like I’m not worried about anything beyond me, I’m simply loving the idea of being here, looking at how the people and trees I can see, are doing. I Often use those moments to inspire some of my most beautiful paintings. I used to think big groups or extreme adrenaline brought happiness but those factors can expire. Whereas stillness is always just one deep breath away, it’s free, easy, accessible, and ongoing. Once there in life in your body you can witness the euphoria of stillness.

    Snap Finance “Funding the Future” Scholarship
    I’d like to introduce myself a “Generator”, a term I came up with to describe anyone who’s had enough drive and bravery to step out on faith to do something that no one around them has done before. So far, I’ve achieved many first for the women in the family I come from; first to live alone before establishing a committed relationship, first to invest, and learn stacks, first to maintain an independent savings before the age of 20, first to maintain good standing credit by the age of 21, but the biggest first is the one I’m most proud to proclaim, First generation college student! Being the first in my family, to ever peruse a higher education, had already checked off a major task from my list accomplishments; but as life progressed and I became independent at the age of 19, funding that dream molded into something rather difficult. Noticing this may be a roadblock for others like me, started a fuel to begin planning how to create accessible avenues for people the after me.

With partnerships from anyone willing, I will make it a one-stop place for anyone in need of a “how-to”. Giving others the chance to start their own cycle generational firsts molding themselves into multiple other “Generators” like me. Another major goal is to pursuer proper mental health awareness because a vital part of making leaps is trusting and loving yourself enough to see it through. That level of balance can be possible, no matter the background one conversation at a time. While at this stage of my grand plan, I am in the process of documenting what I seek to do for many reasons! One being to hold myself accountable and another, to give way for someone else is, God forbid I am unable. Greatness and growth has no boundaries when it is a plan we are all on board with. Here’s to all the future “Generators”!
