Born in 1992, I grow up in Miami FL, raised by my mother and grandmother. I attended Miami Jackson Sr. High School where I put my god giving gift of coordinating events to a test for the first time. During my senior year after the earthquake-affected Haiti, I felt that I had to do something to help the people that were involved in the national disaster. So I summited a proposal to my principal and activities director to form a group and coordinate a relief concert. I received an approval and formed a group with my peers (12 graders) called The National Disaster Crew, Our mission was to help during any national disaster in any way we would. My group and I spend 2 months planning a relief concert to raise money for Haiti, using our school’s brand new auditorium. We held an amazing concert and raised over $1000.00 towards building a school with living quarters in Haiti. I also earned an hour of community service towards every dollar that was donated to the relief event. Becuase of that effort I graduated with the must community service hours of my graduating class and an amazing feeling in my heart. From that day forward I set a goal that I would help 1 million people by the time I’m age 21. During my junior year in high school I was introduce to a group of individual called College Summit. I attended a summer workshop where my life was changed in more ways than one. I Knew that I wanted to attend college but I just didn’t know much about it and I was not prepared but, after spending four day with the college summit and learning about myself and how important it was to pursue post-second education, I decided that I was going to become successful and I planned how I was going to accomplish that.
After graduation High School I attended Miami International University of Art and Design were I studied fashion design. After attending for a half of year I discovered that fashion was just something I loved from the outside in but not the inside out. So I decided to switch my major and university. I’m now attending Full Sail University Online studying the Entertainment Business. I working on establishing my business this year and began working on a big event in Miami that is just a dream at the moment but once I find the right investors it will be the talk of the town!
