What is the best advice you give?

My best advice is not allow anyone’s point of view to direct your path in life.

What does your daily routine look like?

I spend 8-10 hours each day running a marathon in Corporate America; replying to colleague emails, running reports for clients, and delivering service that grows our international business. Another 4 hours are spent
devoted to my family through meal preparation, school, PTA, and extracurricular activities.

Therefore, I have committed to beginning my day with time for and by myself. I wake up while my family is asleep and take a brisk walk through my community while I listen to music and observe ducks. This is my time to self-reflect and to not do anything for anyone except myself. But from 8am-10pm; I belong to Randstad USA and my family.

Why did you choose the school (and major) you went to?

I chose FSU because it was close to home and allowed me to align my education with the career goals that I had for myself at 17 years old. The University is the center of Tallahassee and the community truly cares about the advancement of the school and its students. This practice allows students to have access to state government, endless free resources and platforms to branch into upon leaving graduation.

What are the tech tools you can’t live without (apps, products, etc)?
​
I am addicted to my calendar!! I do not commit, plan or make a move without reviewing my calendar. It’s imperative that we do not over commit ourselves or follow through on obligations; so I ensure that my time is available and my mind is able to focus before committing to anything.

Why did you choose your career path?

I chose my career path because I enjoy bringing ideas into fruition.
​
What are your professional goals?

My professional goal is to be a Business Consultant/Project Manager. I plan on growing my software consulting firm so that it can reach a bigger population of clients.

What is the best advice you give?

I would say to trust in God/Source/Higher Power. That has helped me throughout my journey in life.

What are you doing to make an impact outside of work?

The impact that I try to make outside of work is to help those with developmental disabilities. Provide them with the needed services to help them become independent.

Why did you choose the school (and major) you went to?

I obtained my Masters in Public Administration at UCF. I pursued that degree because since I wanted to work in the non-profit sector, I figured it would give me a good understanding on how it works. Totally not what I expected. It was mostly Government related studies but I enjoyed it.

What organizations do you admire and why?

I admire my organization AdventHealth because they promote for the individual to adhere to Christ like principles. It pretty much allows Christians to be themselves and to thrive.

Who are your mentors and/or people you follow?

- I have a mentor for finance
- I have a mentor for business development
- I have a mentor for community relations
- I selected these mentors because those were the areas that I wanted guidance on in my professional path.

What are the biggest challenges you see in healthcare?

I think communication is a big challenge. As well as, the healthcare arena has become so technologically savvy (I’m sure other reasons too) that sometimes we miss the mark of caring for the individual.

Where have you traveled and where do you have plans to travel (and what have you learned from those places)?

I have gone to Baltimore, Haiti, Georgia, New York, Philly, Toronto, Montreal, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama, Texas, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, New Orleans, Louisiana, Florida, Bahama’s

From traveling to all those places, I have learned that the world is way bigger than my “Back yard.” There is so much diversity that it makes me appreciate life even more.

What are the tech tools you can’t live without (apps, products, etc)?

I can’t live without my phone and laptop because I have to get my work done. But if there was a way for me to not live with them I would do so.

Why did you choose the school (and major) you went to?

I chose the University of Central Florida to complete my bachelors and masters degree because of their high ratings, location and student diversity. Diversity was a major factor when making my selection because it allowed me to interact with students and professors from all walks of life. The cultural insight was intriguing, and I made lifelong friends. I chose to study Health Services Administration because I have always admired the behind the scenes professionals, that made sure everything was running smoothly. I believe that all Physicians and Nurses are heroes and I also believe that heroes can’t complete a mission without their support team. I wanted to be apart of the elite team of individuals that were responsible for not only supporting the clinical team but also improving the patients experience and the efficiency of the organization.

What are the biggest challenges you see in healthcare?

The biggest challenges I see in our healthcare system is the alarming number of uninsured citizens. We have millions of Americans still living without health insurance and with our current administration fighting so hard to repeal Obamacare, we will only see this number rising. We seem to lack the resources to assist our uninsured population, yet we are consistently increasing the cost to receive healthcare and medication. It will be a great challenge trying to figure out how we can manage cost without compromising the safety or quality of patient care.

Where have you traveled and where do you have plans to travel (and what have you learned from those places)?

While serving in the U.S Air Force, I was blessed enough to spend three years in Okinawa, Japan. As a
passionate traveler, I was super excited to experience a different culture. One of the main things I
learned during my time in Japan is that they take great pride in their health and education. Japan’s
healthcare system is considered one of the best systems in the world due to all their citizen’s receiving national health insurance which provides access to high quality healthcare. The focus they put on their community’s well-being is commendable and the reason why they have a higher rate for life expectancy, a lower rate for infant mortality and a higher percentage of high school graduates receiving a higher education. In addition to Japan, I have traveled to many Caribbean Islands and plan to visit Alaska sometime next year.
