About Me
I am born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts. I am a second/third generation child of 8! Growing up in the city was not always pleasant. I had a hard time "fitting in" at school and was sadly bullied throughout my upbringing just for being myself. I decided to take my fate into my own hands at the young age of 16 and stepped into the world as a teen mother. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was left raising my newborn on my own one week after his arrival.
I learned how to live a very independent life through SAM (The School Age Mothers' Program), which successfully aided me in earning a high school diploma and providing me the resources in parenting, nutrition, budgeting, and counseling while raising a child. I successfully completed the program at the age of 18 and acquired my own apartment my senior year. I am proud to say I acquired my diploma while being on my own, waking up at 5am to take public transportation to get my child and myself to school every morning.
I shortly managed to acquire my Associates in medical office from Salter College, providing the gateway into the mental health industry. I started working as a front desk receptionist and climbed the ladder to General Manager within 6 years at Behavioral Healthcare Services. As the practice grew, so did I, expanding and acquiring my technological and administrative skills to run the private practice. And then came COVID-19...
The first year was definitely a challenge in managing the practice, but we had an amazing team and powered through. During this time, I kept my passion for painting to myself as a therapeutic outlet. Sadly, on my 7th year working in the industry I lost myself, my purpose, and simply had no more of myself to give, so I had to make a drastic change. This was the closing chapter of operating the practice, saying goodbye to the many relationships I had with patients, faculty staff, and of course all the medical professionals that I'd worked with. I had to move on... for me and my purpose.
I further continued to exercise my talent and skills and decided to open up my own business in the art industry in February of 2022. My vision is to become a leading provider of paint party services, recognized for our innovative approach to art-based experiences and our commitment to enhancing mental well-being. Both locally and virtually, we offer unique paint parties to a broader audience, becoming a go-to destination for individuals and organizations seeking creative and engaging events that foster personal expression and connection.
