If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
<b>Hello GoGo community! </b>Thank you for stopping by to learn about me. I am a charming, happy go lucky kinda gal, with both street and book smarts. I grew up in a multicultural family and have endured a lot in my 32 years of live. I've been entrepreneurial minded since I was a little girl and have always had a passion for ideas and creativity.<div><br></div><div>After losing my son to a birth defect (<a href="http://cdh-birthing.webs.com" title="Learn more about CDH & My experience with it. " target="_blank">Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia</a>) in 2005, I decided to put my dreams first and never look back. Since then I completed my Associates Degree in Musical Theatre, moved to New York City to perform Off-off Broadway in a Musical, and found myself in Ohio to direct an original stage play which afforded me the opportunity to complete my BA at University of Toledo where I studied a mixture of Theatre and Behavioral Communication.</div><div><br></div><div>Now that I have graduated, I realized that all of my<b> life experience</b> (high school drop out turned college honors student), <b>work experience</b> (nearly 12 years in Corporate America), and <b>college credits</b> (individualized track), has brought me to a place where it is time to highlight and jump off all of my business ideas. There are more to come but for now I want to start with <a href="http://soulfoodconnection.webs.com" title="Visit Soul Food Connection" target="_blank">Soul Food Connection</a>; a business passion of mine that has been in the works for twelve years. </div><div><br></div><div>In the near future I will be directing plays, working on my other business: <a href="http://plus-size-acting-network.webs.com" title="Plus-Size Acting Network" target="_blank">Plus-Size Acting Network</a>, and would love to go back to graduate school and either get an MFA in Directing or study Drama Therapy so as to start a business where I can use theatre and therapy to help people the way it has helped me in my journey. I also am a plus-size model and do that from time-to-time as well. <i>YES I am a true Jane of All Trades and wouldn't trade it for the world. </i></div><div><br></div><div>I'm excited to be here and I thank you for your time and support!</div>
