EDUCATION 2002 – 2018
Knowledge is literally power. One thing I pride myself is on the ability to never stop learning, I have a fear of complacency. Perseverance, dedication, and endurance with a little motivation and confidence sprinkled in makes one me one determined cookie. I may not be the genius of the world, but I work on being great at whatever I focus on.
ASHFORD UNIVERSITY + MISS NANCY E
I wanted to grow my business and learn more about expanding and becoming a more educated leader. I studied at Ashford University for two years and obtained a Masters Degree in Global Management 2016 – 2018. This was my highest level of education and I am blessed for the knowledge that was provided to me. Personally, I have volunteered in ALOT of social projects, I am a philanthropist at heart. I currently serve in Technical School for the USAF.Ashford University Forbes School of Business logo.
BUSINESS
I have worked for myself since 2011 but officially registered my first LLC in January of 2014 and later my pride and joy, Beauté Clinique Spa inspired by my love of French in May 2014. I am now primarily a freelancer.
I consider myself a philanthropic model entrepreneur.
ATELIER INSTITUTE OF ESTHETICS AND MILDRED ELLEY
From 2014 – 2016, I wanted to take care of my own skin and grew a passion for skincare and learned how to care for all skincare types as well as advanced techniques. I met wonderful professionals and mentors. This expanded my love to help others which went hand in hand with Massage Therapy so naturally, I took pride in becoming a dual/ national/internationally licensed therapist.
CUNY – MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
The City University of New York runs deep and I was fortunate enough to be accepted to the only HBCU in NYC. I made this place my educational facilitator for quite some time. I learned ALOT about myself and my career path obtaining a baby boy, 2 Associate Degrees, and a Bachelors during this time. It took a while, July 2006 – June 2011 (technically 2013 because of this one darn repeat fail math class for 1.5 years) but hey, I got it done! At some point during college, I took a break to continue my modeling career and after graduating, began to focus on working on myself and growth towards financial freedom. I started traveling quite a bit once I finished my undergraduate degree.
I.S. 292 / DEWITT CLINTON H.S.
I attended one of the greatest high schools (at the time) in New York City from 2002 – 2006 with some big alumni names like Stan Lee and Ralph Lauren. Although I didn’t finish in the Macys Program, I graduated at the age of 17 with a NYS Regents Diploma and a Financial Literacy certificate. Some of my best and a few bad memories were here. Overall, I had the typical teenage F-U-N! I have friends I am in still in touch with today despite going to a school of 5000+ students. I am still connected with friends from I.S.292 (Junior High School) in Brooklyn, NYC. Shout out to Mr. Spencer from the 6th Grade!
THE UNITED STATES AIRFORCE
I had all the education, self-starting entrepreneurial employment experience but very little corporate workforce experience. I felt like I didn’t do “adulting” quite right. Also having a child in your late teens can like me, give you a FOMO (fear of missing out) I wanted that comradery, going away for college feeling and thought it would be easy/fun. Absolutely NOTHING could have prepared me for the world (besides growing up in NYC) like serving good ol’ ‘Merica did. I had Mental, Physical and Emotional growth and strength as well as support in every corner for my success in the beginning. I made really great friends and networks. I have come across some absolutely wonderful people. At the same time, I have looked the devil in his face on multiple occasions. I can now say that your unit will make the biggest difference in your very well-being. BMT was something else, same for Tech School!
