My passion for what I do has been long-standing, originating from my childhood. I grew up in New York with my siblings and my single mother, who worked tirelessly every day to provide for our family. Her dedication ignited a fire in me to strive to be like her and to achieve even more. I worked diligently and pushed myself hard, eventually graduating from Dowling College in May 2001. For the past 24 years, I have been pursuing what I love. I find great joy in helping others with my knowledge, and I hope to continue this meaningful work for as long as I can.
