In 2019, my life changed forever when I was hospitalized with liver failure. Although I knew my entire life I would need a transplant due to Biliary Atresia at birth, there is no real way to prepare yourself for what I was about to endure. I was hospitalized with 5% liver function and immediately rushed to the ICU where I would remain for 3 months. After being in a coma for most of November, I finally received my liver transplant on 12/9/2019. My surgeons came in a week afterwards and stated that they were unhappy with how my body was responding. My body began to reject my newly transplanted liver, which was now causing my kidney to fail. After 5 major surgeries and 17 surgical procedures, I received the perfect liver and kidney 1/14/2020 and one of the oldest Biliary Atresia patients to receive a transplant. While in the hospital I lost my vision, eyesight, memory, and ability to perform daily functions and now knew that I had a long road ahead. I was released from the hospital 3/6/2020 on a walker weighing 115lbs and standing tall at 6'. I've spent my time since being released form the hospital learning to walk and recently running my first 5K. My perspective on life has shifted massively which fuels my energy and happiness every single day. I am able to relate to the hardships of many people around me and create inspiration and motivation on the dimmest moments. I am an advocate for great health, for transplant survivors, hospital patients, for athletes who may feel disadvantaged, and for anyone who is having issues with acknowledging their own greatness. I lead my life now with loyalty, love, and respect and have committed myself to helping others create the same perspective. We're better when we're connected and sometimes all it takes to be better, is to see and be surrounded by the energy that fuels drive, determination, and resiliency in your heart.

As a former fashion designer, I once believed that finding the perfect outfit was the key to feeling confident. I would marvel at how Wonder Woman would transform into her powerful self, and it made me realise the significance of outer confidence. However, as I delved deeper into personal development and explored my inner confidence due to lack of it, I discovered that there was much more to the puzzle.I made it my mission to help others experience that same sense of confidence by sharing all my knowledge, experience and education to liberate themselves from the chains of their past, the opinions of others, and the need for external validation. It became clear to me that true worthiness comes from within, and I am determined to inspire and guide others on this transformative journey.

I grew up in Plano, Texas before attending the University of North Texas and University of Houston for College Majoring in Finance with minor in Economics. I took lead of my families Company in 2004 which was a Century Disposal as we grew to 67 employees and over 7 million is annual gross revenue before selling to one of our competitors. I then began my own Real Estate investment company in 2009 and grew it until 2013 where we were buying distressed assets during the downturn of the market in large REO portfolios and then breaking them up and selling them off in owner finance scenarios. We raised over 8 million in investment capital and conducted over 1200 successful real estate transactions. This company ended because of a large portfolio that’s was purchased by our firm as well as several others under an illegal transaction conducted by the seller. We all took heavy losses and were not able to recover but the life lessons and business lessons were invaluable. I am current own a Auto finance company that operates in 41 states and we are doing loans all over the country. We have done over 4.5 million in revenue over the last 2 years and we started the company from $700 dollars. Through many growing pains we have been sued, we have had significant employee challenges we have faced and in 2020 when Covid hit the biggest blo to our business ever happened. I became sick very sudden at the age of 39 years old. I all of a sudden found myself in the hospital and within 45 days I flatlined twice and died for over 6 mins both times. I had a life saving heart transplant in order for me to be here and the miracles of being put on the transplant list in 2 days, getting a heart in 2 days so that I didn’t suffer brain damage while on life support taught me as a CEO and my team so much more than any of every thought as a business. We made the transition of how to create a company that can survive you and it was thrust upon us in 45 days and we are still here 7 years later to tell the tale. I am currently in the final stages of editing for my first published book called “Heart to Submit” that will be out in time for Christmas this year and I have been doing several speaking engagement since my near death experience because I hope to help and inspire other to avoid the mistakes I made, to make different choices and to live in the journey.
