WHO AM I
I am a self motivated individual who always looks forward to the wonderful experiences life brings.However, when life gets hard I thrive for more success because I refuse to fail knowing God has put me on this planet to embrace all his opportunities, both good and bad. With the world at my finger tips and a strong will to be successful I feel I can do just about anything I set my mind to. I love being creative and since I am a visual person I can think outside the box, I imagine it first then I do it. I am also a serious and loyal fun loving person who absolutely loves talking to everyone. I like to think of myself as outgoing, flexible and versatile.
I started my own family childcare business called ACW Childcare & Pre-School then later on I started my online educational resource store called Meet The Needs Curriculum, both were a success for me.However, in 2015 I decided to take my skills to a new level so I started 2 more business opportunities. One of them is a cleaning company and the other is a miniature dollhouse tutorial resource site where I love teaching people new creative ways to embrace their dreams. Furthermore, I also have a photography business on the side where I photograph family portraits, wedding portraits and large groups, This has been great as well but with so many other things going on in my career I had to prioritize what meant more to me in my life so I stepped away from the photography for the moment to embrace the importance of my family and my dreams. I don’t feel this is a set back but an opportunity to enjoy what matters most to me.
