I was born in the Caribbean in the Virgin Islands. I joined the Army as support personnel and was able to travel to South Korea where I remained for a year. I obtained my first bachelor degree from the University of Texas Brownsville now the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley after studying at the University of Maryland with my associate from the University of South Carolina. Caring for my family took a huge amount of my time, but continuing to learn and grow in different ways was always important because of the impact it had on the people around me. Choosing UMS has been a part of my biggest growth and has shown me that I have so much more to learn.
