About Me & The Birth of Resilient Star...
I was born on the beautiful island of St. Croix and I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of 2, Growing up on the Islands with limited medical resources necessary to support my development was not easy. But, my parents, family members, and friends were always supportive of my dreams. they were a strong support system. As well as a constant reminder of how important it is to never let societal stereotypes or disability define me. My passion for education and helping others motivated me to become a Social Worker and fueled the ideas to create educational tools that would educate and empower not only my two beautiful daughters but the students who I worked with as well.
