Notable Role Models
I grew up in a blessed, loving, supportive, and happy home where I was taught from the jump that knowledge is the foundation of true wisdom. My parents immigrated from Cuba in the 1980's where many life lessons were learned and passed down to my sister and I. I am a true believer that America boasts opportunities to those that have an insatiable hunger for success driven by passion.
