My knowledge and experience comes from my college education, but mostly from real world experience in planning, starting, and running several successful small businesses.
I hold the following degrees:
AA in Business
BA in Personal Finance
BA in Entrepreneurship
BA in Applied Behavioral Science (Pursuing)
I have literally been an entrepreneur since I was 5 years old.
When I was 5 to about 10 years old I would make arts and crafts and go around to my neighbors houses and sell them.
From 10 to 18 years old I had a landscaping company, with 2 other employees, where I made substantially more money than friends of mine that were working at grocery stores, fast food restaurants, and other common teenage jobs.
As an adult I also started and ran for about 7 years a business consulting company where I would help people think of and start small businesses. Everything from their business plan, to marketing, and launching.
By far my most successful company was SunBright Janitorial, a commercial and residential cleaning company, in Houston, TX. I owned and ran it for about 10 years. I had 5 employees, and was very profitable. I learned a lot in during that time, but I started to get burnt out.
I decided to close the business down during COVID, because I lost most of my clients due to the pandemic, and at the same time I wanted a change in my life, a little bit after that I started working for this amazing company, Outschool, and am really enjoying teaching students about my entrepreneurial experiences.
Right now, I am currently in the planning and development stage of starting a real life wilderness survival school, where kids and their families can come stay on a piece of land for a number of days while I teach them how to survive in the forest. It is going to take a lot of time, and money, but I am truly excited to work on a project I have wanted to do for over 20 years.
Other business ventures I plan on opening are:
-An online school for adults to learn survival skills
-An online stranger danger course that is geared towards individuals with autism.
-Become certified as an applied behavioral analyst and develop a curriculum teaching individuals with autism certain life skills.
-Write a children's book on Urban & Wilderness survival.
