Why did you join the board?

I joined the board to make a difference in the lives of children worldwide. An education provides a means to succeed and create a better life. Hard work and dedication are not always enough, and as a member of this foundation I plan on helping those with a will by providing them a way.

What are your long term goals for the foundation?

I would like to assist in creating an internationally recognized foundation that creates opportunity for underprivileged children who wish to strive for success and change their own lives. This is a great opportunity and a lifetime of work that will alter the state of underprivileged children for generations to come.
