: About Me

I am a 31 year old female who was born and raised in Kingston Jamaica by my parents whom have been married for over 25 years and together a lot longer. I graduated high school in 1996, then attended Excelsior Community College where I studied computer science. I met my husband when he came for vacation in Jamaica; he saw me and I guess it was love at first sight, for him at least. I came to the U.S in 2001, where I eventually married my husband of now 9 years in Honolulu, Hawaii. Presently I am attending Colorado technical university where I have finally completed my Asoociates Degree in Medical Billing and Coding and have graduated with Highest Honors and a GPA of 3.93.  I had also been to other colleges prior such as Kaplan University where I acquired more than a few credits. During all my years of procrastinating relative to my career and educational choices, in my spare time, I eventually wrote a book dedicated to the stresses of my life at that time,  the victims of 9/11, and the U.S Armed Forces. I am the published author of A diary of an undefined lives: Beyond the depths of poetry." I plan to contine my education and expand my college experience.  I am still attending CTU only I am now enrolled in the Bachelors of Science double concentration course in both healthcare management and human resouces management. I aim to complete this degreee as well, as I plan to succeed even further in this my life. After I have accomplished these intermedicate goals I hope to complete my MBA in Health Care Management, where I can dabble and experiment in the managerial aspects of the business Industry, whether it is healthcare or otherwise. Ever since I was a child, I have been very much influenced by the passion and urge to educate myself, and record my feeligns and emotions on papaer, and get more out of life than I aim to achieve. I love to write and I had never actually substantiated whether or not I would have liked to become an author, but deep within my thoughts the need to write grew, and so did the urge to learn, more so that it started to manifest in my studies. I would write more than what was required all the time. But nonetheless, even being told that I write too much! Or the paper was too lengthy, and they didn't get a chance to read it all because of all the wordiness! I have always been insistent on going above and beyond my own expectations, those of my professors and surpass the abilities I once withheld as proficient- until I naturally grew into enhancing my writing influences, techniques and passion. I have 2 children- one boy (2 years old), and one girl (7 years old). My niece whom I have been guardian to for the last 7 years, also is my pride and joy- she is 10 years old, and my twin nephews who are 4 years old. I wish to author children's literature as well someday in the future and accomplish all the dreams and desires I permit myself to.

My passion is ...

writing, caring for others, wanting to please others, my family, to become successful at whatever I pursue

I know too much about ...

marriage, details regarding influences on a child, researching.

My parents always told me ...

"If you desire good things, then you will have to make the sacrifice to accomplish and attain them."

My childhood ambition ...

was to become a ballet dancer, model or flight attendant

My favorite memory ...

being a child, having no worries and reliving high school.

Why I write ...

Because it is my passion to explain, to reiterate, to argue to complain to communicate to inform, and to educate. I write because it makes me feel good to see a potential that was a gift from nature rather than something I assumingly acquired.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

News, News, News. I am obsessed with what journalists or the media have to communicate to the public- whether it pertains to the government or just the hipocracy in politics.

My first job ...

was working with my father as his secretary, who owns a locksmith shop in Jamaica

My best moment ...

When my first child was born; holding her for the first time, and thinking what could be more self gratifying than that moment.

My inspiration ...

my english professor at colorado technical university (June Wagner), my father, my mother, my immediate family, and the public, because of their on-going need to elevate their knowledge and satisfy their curiosities.

Tiresome I am the bearer of mine own pain, I am the hand which soothes my own sorrow; my tears flow like the never-ending river Nile; I am never quenched. I long for peace, I long to forget, instead I regret, in pain and in strain. I am hurt and there is no one… no one to hold me, no one to care, no one to love me. The only shadow visible to me is mine own. Is this how I shall exist; sacrificing my happiness so that another may smile in my stead being the mirror to my existence they are the one who truly lives; I am tired, my eyes grow weary, my mind exhausted! I wish to flee far aw...
