Hi guys! Thank you to everyone who took the time to click their way over here! I'm so grateful!

Let's start with how much mindset shifting I had to do to realize that an opportunity like this was accessible to ME and that I could apply... if I applied myself! (I was born in Montserrat W.I, an island few know about... in the middle of the ocean, so study abroad is a huge deal for me!) 

I got accepted to study in Israel for 11days with my professors this semester! (Its also my 35th next month!) We'll be studying Israeli Leadership, and Leadership in the tech world. 

Outside of it being my 35th Milestone Birthday, this opportunity melts right into my grad school program!

I’ve been in the entrepreneurial space for some years but I’ve actively been studying Organizational Leadership. Concurrent with that, I’ve gotten certified in a few things;  Instructional Design w/ Microsoft, I’m now an affiliate strategist with the Strategy Advisory Board UK, The Google Project Management certification, and Women's Entrepreneurship certification at Cornell University paid for by Bank of America. It’s been a busy year! 

Sending me to Israel will open me up for innovation, and new perspective on leadership and technology. I'm also committed to showing my soon to be 10 and 13yr olds that you can FAITH (and action) your way through ANYTHING! So their eyes are peeled on this community support effort as well.

Thank you so much! Your PRAYERS + faith are also VALUED currency ;)
- I'll be VLOGGING this travel study in December to share with those who are supporting my studies, and those who know me know that vlogging will be a first for me lol! 


How teamwork looks in context: 
10 ppl x $500 ~ 5k
20 ppl x $250 ~ 5k 
50 ppl x $100 ~ 5k
100 ppl x $50 ~ 5k
