Tell us about yourself...

I have cerebral palsy and grew up in an era when people with disabilities had few options available to them. I was educated before they will laws on the books guaranteeing people with disabilities the right to an education, therefore, my teachers did not understand that cerebral palsy affects how the brain processes information or that I learn differently.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family where there was a lot of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. My father physically abused and my mother emotionly and verbally abused their children. As a child they this led to me having low self-esteem. Only after entering college and studying both mental health and psychology did I learn to change my mind set to become more positive and build my own self-esteem.

I told an AAS in mental health, BS in psychology, and credits towards a MS in a rehabilitation counseling. I attended Toastmasters and received both the CTM and ATM certifications. As a member of NSA-Georgia chapter I've anticipated in their mentoring program and put together a speech titled success is my only option! I attended the American seminar leaders Association University and hold the certified seminar leader certification.

As a disabled individual I had to learn how to live without limits and in my business I help people to reach their maximum potential in life so they can choose to set and achieve goals for themselves with home study programs, teleseminars, webinars, mentoring programs, like in career coaching.
