Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life?  Why?
Other than my parents, the one person that has had a great influence on my life would have to be my personal trainer. He has had a great impact on my life, because he helped me from being a quiet person with a lack of confidence in myself to now a person who has a great amount of confidence and appreciates herself for who she is. He enabled me to look at life in another way and has led me to be proud of everything I have accomplished. Most importantly by being a good friend who accepted me for who I was and changed me to become the wonderful individual I am today.

My proudest personal accomplishment is being able to communicate with others with confidence and being able to talk to people by just being honest and myself.

I am currently attending Vancouver Community College and taking the courses I need to fulfill my goal in life.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was born and raised in Vancouver B.C. I was raised by my mother, uncle and grandmother. My childhood would have to be described as unforgettable, happy, and most importantly being loved.
My family was always very supportive of everything I have done. We always had other friends and family that would visit us almost every weekend, and my fondest memories where always a lot of singing, dancing, and so many joyful times. I am very thankful and fortunate for my family because I feel that I am lucky to have people that will always be there for me and support me no matter what.

Be your own person and any goal that you want to achieve in life do it without any hesitation.

In 10 years my goal is to be able to have a successful job as a Dental Hygienist with a happy family, as well as to travel around the world and help teach many people about my profession.

Is there anything you would like to tell us about yourself?  Something unique that has happened to you?  Some interesting thing about you?
I am the type of person that likes to tackle any challenges that come my way no matter how much I would feel like giving up. I believe that if you give up and not try something you have always wanted to do you end up regretting it in the end, that’s I always put my best effort in to what  I want to do and take it like it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
