I consider myself a lucky girl from the South Bronx who had great mentors. Those mentorships helped me strive and thrive. I try, have tried, to pay that forward. I like passing on knowledge and coaching people to their full potential both at work and personal life. I […]
“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” When I became pregnant I knew that one of the values I would immediately try to pass onto my child was the love and appreciation of travel. In psychology, we measure […]
This might seem weird to some. Bit April fool’s day makes me a little sad. It’s a day of jokes and I love pranks. Pulled one off last week on a colleague to great delight. I got that love of pranks from my mother. She took great pleasure […]

I usually love the month of May. It’s my month. It’s my birthday month. Flowers blossom and birds chirp. The air has a twinkle. There’s an extra step in my pep. Or extra pep in my step. However, this is the pandemic era. Birthdays take an extra meaning […]
A few weeks back, right after I was getting over having both the flu and a sinus infection, I had a very trying day. Or rather my family did as a whole. And, my son will not forget that day for a long time to come. Trying days […]
Despite loving dresses and high heels, as well as wearing them everyday, I have never been a very girlie girl. To some, that just doesn’t add up or make sense. I’m not saying I was a tomboy. But I just was never that into manicures (mani-pedis), for instance. […]
