Class of 2000
How did QCC impact your journey?
QCC was essential to my growth as a person and a leader. It equipped me with the skills to take full accountability for myself and my work, while providing a safe space to learn and grow.
What are you currently doing?
I am the Program Manager at EforAll, an organization that helps aspiring entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. We believe every dream deserves a chance and every individual deserves an opportunity to thrive.
I also founded Grow In Love with Armida, a movement focused on self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-realization. My mission is to help people move beyond fear and separation and into love and oneness.
On a personal note, I am the proud mother of three daughters. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, dancing, traveling, and reading. I am deeply passionate about mental health, women's empowerment, inclusion, and equality.
What advice would you give to current students and fellow alumni?
Always follow your heart and your truth, and view life as an art project. When we follow our hearts, the journey becomes more exciting. Remember that any goal you set is simply a target and a roadmap to create movement, so be flexible and intentional with your soul's flow; you may be led to places you never dreamed of. Actively show up to life, stay curious, be intentional, and remain open to growth.
Anything else you would like us to know?
I will be publishing a book by the end of this fall titled, "Your Own Love Heals You: Discover why your love is the only cure for your pain and suffering." The book focuses on healing and transforming your heart so that you can begin to experience joy, peace, passion, and freedom in your life. Additionally, I will also be launching my signature group course, "12 Weeks to Grow In Love," late this year or early next year. My purpose is to elevate humanity through my work.
