I run a successful 6-Figure online business that gives me the luxury of working from anywhere! Even after coming from an impoverished background, raised by a single mother, I was fortunate enough to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and a Master’s degree in Teaching from Wayne State University. I retired from my "day" job 11 years ago and have been doing my own thing MY way ever since. BUT it didn’t start out that way!

I remember getting that dream job that paid me $50,000 and thinking wow, I finally made it! But then I looked at the CEO of that business and any other company that I worked for and thought how? How could I get there? I didn't feel it was possible, nor did I really want that. What I wanted was my own business where I called the shots and I wasn't tied down to a desk all day.

I eventually gave my notice and took a leap of faith and walked into my journey of entrepreneurship! I can tell you that the journey has not always been easy but stepping into my own power and success makes me happy! I'm empowered as a woman to have my own income, dream life, and family.

I'm a mom of two highly intelligent and motivated adult daughters and an ambitious grandson. Being a mother was one of the most rewarding yet hardest jobs I've ever done.

I started in the coaching space shortly after taking an online nutrition course. I used to be 100 pounds overweight (now about 40) and wanted to learn about my body and how it worked. More importantly I wanted to keep the weight off. As I learned, I started teaching others how I did it. Soon people kept asking me how can I teach about my experience like you're doing. Or they would say, I have several skills I'd like to share just like you're sharing yours. How do I do that? So, Courses That Soar Academy was born and I've been teaching in the online space ever since.
