About Me

..Myspace Graphics
Myspace Layouts
I was born in South America (Guyana) raised in New York (Brooklyn) and moved to North Carolina (Raleigh) when I was 13. No, I don’t have a New York accent; I lost that a long time ago. I currently live and work in Greenville, home of the Pirates! I am a strong, independent, very intelligent and gregarious female with drive and determination to attain all of my goals. My next quest is obtaining my CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license. I truly believe that I live a blessed life. With all that has come my way, the Lord continues to bless me…..He is an AWESOME GOD. I have developed lifelong friendships along my journey and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in the making.
