Creative Artist; Singing, Camping, Hiking, Swimming, Surfing, Church

I grew up in a large extended family and we would take seasonal camping, hiking, swimming, surfing trips which continues to this day with our own families. This has helped me stay in shape and meet new people in my life's journey. Travelling has allowed me to adapt to new situations and use my organisation and planning skills to ensure I have the most fun I can.


Extensive travels have bought the creative side out of me, I like to daydream and imagine the possibilities and wonders of the world, however I remain grounded enough to turn my daydreams into reality. This brings me to my love of singing. Singing makes me feel better, helps my stress levels and to relax, improves my memory, allows me to express myself, helps with pain relief, and above all boosts my confidence. I come from a long line of singers.


My journey through life has given me a passion for helping people of all persuasions.

Strong passion for helping people of all persuasions

Having the benefits of a multi-faceted career path it has given me the opportunity to have worked with diverse populations and encouraged the success of a cross-cultural environment. An example of my promotion of an illusionary environment is.... How does diversity impact my life? It encourages the search for fresh and new information and view points, leading to better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to unrestricted discoveries and break through transformations. I have come to discover that being exposed to diversity can change the way one thinks.


Today, many families are made up of LGBTQ+ parents, single parents, separated/divorced parents, step family members, multi ethnic family members, foster/adoptive family members, multi generations families, biological guardians, etc... For example a diverse backgrounds is about the differences in racial and ethnic, socioeconomic, geographic, and academic/professional backgrounds. People with different opinions, background (degrees and social experience), religious beliefs, political beliefs, sexual orientations, heritage, and life experience.


Family life is defined as the routine interactions and activities that a family share or have together. When members of a family enjoy each other's company and spend a lot of time doing things together, one could consider an example of a good family life. Family culture is about the traditions, habits, practices, and values your family has. It's who you are as a family, it is what makes you different than all the other families in the world.
