About Me
Growing up in the Virgin Islands, I have always had a passion for the ocean and environment, and through my travels to places such as Costa Rica, Africa, much or Europe and the my passion has grown from sea to summits. Some of my hobbies include rock climbing, sailing/boating, snowboarding/skiing, hiking/backpacking, painting, and jewelry making. I love to read, mostly books about travel, eastern philosophy, training books, and books about people who interest me, or I see as a mentor. I enjoy all types of music except Im not a country music fan. I grew up with two sets of parents and 7 siblings. As the second to oldest of the bunch, I have learned how to be loving, patient, helpful, quick to learn, to communicate and listen, and to always be young at heart! Three words that I always keep in mind are patience, passion, and perspective. (I call them my three P's) I believe these are important things to practice/keep in mind everyday to grow in a positive direction.
