I travel a lot for leisure but mostly to run 5K races all over the country. I'm a social worker who caters to individuals with disabilities across diverse spectrums. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED and Med Aid. I also work part-time as a retail manager and I’m a budding entrepreneur and blogger.
