Born and raised in the heart of New York City, her early life was shaped by hardship—poverty, instability, and the trauma of child abuse. But rather than allowing those challenges to define her, she chose to rise above them. With determination rooted in personal experience, she charted a course of strength, resilience, and compassion that has led her to a life of service and impact.
At just 16, she found an outlet through boxing—learning discipline, grit, and the power of perseverance. By 18, she was working in the fitness industry, using her knowledge and strength to help others build healthier, more empowered lives. Her journey didn’t stop there.
Driven by a passion to heal, she pursued a career in nursing, where she could provide care and comfort to those in their most vulnerable moments.
But perhaps her most personal and powerful role is that of an advocate for children in foster care. Having seen firsthand what it means to grow up without stability or support, she has made it her mission to be the person she once needed: someone who listens, sees, and believes in the potential of every child.
Now living in New Mexico, she has launched a transformative initiative called God’s Love—a program dedicated to helping teens from broken homes acquire the tools they need to build brighter futures.
Recognizing the unique vulnerabilities these young people face—including the very real threat of exploitation—God’s Love offers practical life skills such as job training, interview preparation, and professional development.
More importantly, it provides mentorship, emotional support, and a safe space for young people to be heard and seen for who they truly are.
“In a place where so many kids feel invisible, I want to be a reminder that they matter,” she says. “Even just a listening ear can change the direction of a young life.”
God’s Love isn’t just a program—it’s a promise. A promise that no matter the darkness a child has come from, there is hope. There is healing. And there is a future worth fighting for.
