ABOUT
I am from Trenton, NJ (born and raised), graduated from Hamilton High School West, and the rest is history. Growing up I was always surrounded by the worst influences possible such as drugs, alcohol, and gang violence. Even though I was exposed to such things I never succumed to them and managed to escape the negative and turn my life around for the better. My dream is to expand a clothing line that I own called AztroClothing™. I believe that being accepted into college has assisted me in every way possible. My ambition is the key to my success and I will not let anyone or anything stop me. I feel as though it is now my turn to take care of my family and that is exactly what I plan to do.
I have overcome all of the negative obstacles by staying positive and keeping my eyes and my thoughts toward the future. When I received the phone call about my acceptance into
Rider University
I was completely thrilled. I felt as though I could do anything I put my mind to. I also knew that I could not take such an opportunity for granted. I have made many different transitions that will assist me with my fashion career. The first and most important was the creation of my resume. This gave me the professional feeling I always wanted. Everything I plan to do throughout my college career will revolve around the creation of my business and will one day ensure my success.
