I have been an American Citizen since day one. Born and raised in the US. I Love God first. I am a hard working wife and mother of five beautiful children. I was an advanced placement student growing up with Honors. I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. I also have a passion for the arts and the environment. I have experience working in various industries. I also have a cosmetology degree and a Zumba Instructor license. I am currently attending college again for my Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA), and I am also studying for my real estate sales person license.

I believe if you put God first, everything else will fall into place. I am very passionate about making a change and making the world a better place. Like Barak Obama, (My Favorite President followed by Joe Biden) I have Mixed Heritage. My Mother is African American and my Father is European American. So I understand what it means to have peace between different ethnicities. I believe mixed people are a symbol of the peace that needs to occur more often in this world between various cultures and colors. I am diverse, in that I can relate to white people, black people,...all different kinds of people. I am very concerned about climate change and I am determined to do whatever I can to END this global warming caused by human impact. I have developed a multi-step strategy involving science, agriculture, and engineering, to fix
  • Multi-Step Strategy to Fix Global Warming
  • Create More Jobs and Strengthen Communities
  • Increase programs and make amendments to current Education system
Stopping Climate Change

Improving Education
Creating Jobs
Improving Child Care
Increasing Gun Control
Reducing National Debt

Improving our own Technology
This is a tough one. My first prime example is God, Jesus Christ. I read the Word and it helps me figure out what to do in life. It also balances me.

Next I look up to my Parents, My older siblings, and my accomplished family members.
Politically wise,

I look up to Barak Obama, Joe Biden, Xi Jiping and Any one else who has the same principles and missions I have.
Integrity, Professionalism, Morale, Determination, Valor.
I was selected as the first prize winner in a National Contest for the Got Milk Company Modeling Competition. I was so excited when I won. I didn't expect to win. I was flown, all expenses paid, with my Mom, down to Orlando, FL, stayed at a Disney Hotel Resort and had a professional magazine photoshoot. My Ad was published in the YM (Young & Modern) Magazine in 2001. It was seen all over the country. Today you can still look me up and see my Got Milk Ad. I was so honored to be chosen. However, out of all the photos I took, they picked one I though was not so good. I wished they had picked a better shot of me, but its all good! It was amazing anyway. I was 16 at the time.
My Very first job was at The Clearview Cinemas in Franklin Square, NY. It is no longer there, now I believe a Synergy Gym is there, however I loved working there. It was a great feeling to be able to earn my own money and help people have fun at the same time. A Few Years later I also worked in Loews Cinemas in Roosevelt Field Mall, NY.
The US House of Representatives is unique because it is a legal branch of the United States Government, that has
a unique system of representation, according to the amount of people that live in each state and district (appropriation). The house of representatives also joins together with the executive branch (president) and the judicial to deal with the major issues at hand within the government. Majority votes and vetoes help to keep our amazing system of checks and balances, so that one person, does not overthrow and have too much power.
Yes, of course, however I do not think its necessary. Also sometimes a fresh start and a fresh outlook from a non-exoerienced person, could be just what the government needs to stay grounded and aware of the real issues.
The greatest challenge by far is the ability to economically improve while also combatting and solving the problem of global warming. The United States is, one of the leading countries of the world, as well as China, as we have the headquarters for the United Nations in NY. Climate change is serious and it is happening now. There is no more time to say "nothing is happening" or "we can do that later". Its time now to make the necessary changes, at the governmental, authoritative levels, where it needs to happen, to be able to change the way society operates a whole to solve this on a much larger scale. One or two people can do nothing.
I think that term limits are okay and make the playing field fair.
A couple come to my mind. One is a man that cant use his legs, he has a health condition and has to use a hand bike to pedal to the store every time he needs to get groceries. I stopped to ask him if I could help him get groceries and shop and deliver for him any time he needs. I even gave him a Mc Donlad's sandwich and some sneakers one time.

Another time a man was outside the laundromat in my town, he was in a wheel chair and one of his legs was gone. He was asking for money. People were just ignoring him and I immediately stopped what I was doing and went to the atm to pull out some cash. I gave him $15. He was crying and thankful.

I really enjoy helping people, and I wish I could help out more with in my community and around the world.
