Since grade school, I knew I wanted to make a meaningful contribution to this world. I didn't quite understand how I was going to do so, but I knew that in due time, God would reveal my life's true purpose. I graduated from high school at the age of 16, and enrolled in Drexel University, where I received a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I later attended Rosemont College, and received a master's in Criminal Justice. Throughout my professional career I reflected constantly on my need to make a difference, which led me to volunteering with New Jersey's Department of Family and Children Services. During that time I realized how many children were suffering. That's when I discovered my life's true calling. As founder of this organization, it’s my duty to ensure that the children who enter our homes feel protected, loved and on a Clear Path to a successful and thriving future. Too many children are aging out of foster care, while their circumstances remain the same. They’re not being connected to family, nor do they have the resources needed to become productive citizens, which is why a large percent of these children become homeless. I’m committed to providing a safe haven for those growing children in need, as well as ensure they leave our care, feeling confident and equipped to enter society on their own.
