She is continually devoted to providing opportunities for others both in and outside of her community. She spends her free time with her husband, 14 month old son, mom and a whole host of family members and friends. She is a member of Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church and credits her success to God's Blessings, role models mom and dad who instilled the basic values, provided a loving home, inspired her, and taught her that nothing is too far from reach. She feels that it is important to have a supporting spouse and network in order to balance a high maintenance career and family. She enjoys sports, socializing with friends, reading, and an occasional day at the spa. She hopes to improve her golf game and catch up on saxophone tunes.
