I spent thirty-three years as a funeral director in a family business with a reputation for integrity, accountability, quality, professionalism and personable service. I co-created with family members inspirational and compassionate life celebrations for a diverse urban clientele. I have a tremendous love for people and a personality that attracts people. I refer to myself as "Listening Woman". I have learned a lot about human nature by just listening.

In 1972, I graduated from Worsham College of Mortuary Science. My Bachelor of Arts Degree received from Roosevelt University in 1992. In 1995, I received a certificate of completion from DePaul Executive Computer Program. I have completed numerous hours of continuing education requirements locally, nationally and abroad. I lectured at Malcolm X College and presented workshops like "Women in Funeral Service." I developed death and dying educational programs for churches and schools, founded the "Lovely Ladies" widow support group and facilitated, "Females in Funeral Service," a professional network group.

My professional affiliations include memberships and leadership roles with the Illinois Funeral Directors Association, Illinois Selected Morticians Association, Cook County Association of Funeral Home Owners, and The National Funeral Directors Association.

My past life experiences have set the course for my life purpose, which is to help others find opportunities of joy through life challenges. Time has confirmed my belief that "your only limitation is your own imagination."

I successfully completed my training delivered by The Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching, (IPEC) to become a Certified Empowerment Coach and Certified Genos Emotional Intelligence Coach. Research Partner Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.

I am a spirited and spiritual person and a champion for positive change. I can feel my unlimited potential strengthen my personal voice and enhance my inner power. I am living my dreams with joy now. Discovering my greatness enhances me as a person, coach, parent, grandparent, and friend. I am a true example that dreams do come true.

I am taking the next step by embarking on a bold and ambitious venture by creating Just One You Empowerment Coaching, which promotes Personal Joy Coaching, Business Development Coaching, Emotional Intelligence Management and Professional Education.
