At this point, I’m convinced my resume could double as a Netflix series. Let’s just say, if jobs were accessories, I’ve rocked everything from steel-toed boots to stilettos — sometimes simultaneously.
Before I became the high-functioning, latte-fueled force behind Voguegenics, my career path looked less like a ladder and more like a tightrope strung between chaos and couture.
The Origin Story: Babysitter by Day, Backstage Hustler by Night
I started like many do: babysitting. But not your average “watch cartoons and order pizza” babysitting. No, this was “handle tantrums, make dinner from scratch, and still fold a fitted sheet perfectly” babysitting. Add CPR certification and a detailed knowledge of Blue’s Clues lore, and I basically ran a mini daycare in a miniskirt.
But the moment I could trade pacifiers for power chords? I did. Enter Rockin Ds Entertainment. Yes, my own music management company — birthed from a love of the stage, the hustle, and the dramatic flair only a live show can provide. I managed artists, organized events, and got real cozy with the chaos of tour buses. It was glittery, gritty, and exactly what I needed.
Cue the Courtroom
Believe it or not, I’ve also worn the world’s least glamorous superhero cape: Senior Litigation Paralegal. I swapped red carpets for red tape, fighting battles with briefs instead of basslines. It taught me how to multitask like a caffeinated octopus and argue like a Southern grandma defending her cobbler recipe.
Caregiver, Coach, Creator
Life, in all its wild wisdom, also handed me one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done — caregiving. Through hospital hallways and late-night medicine schedules, I learned what real strength looks like (spoiler: it usually doesn’t wear makeup).
That compassion, resilience, and relentless drive eventually led me here — to Voguegenics, V’Empower, and everything we’re building. I now wear the title of founder, health coach, writer, and digital ringmaster of a multi-hyphenate life I wouldn’t trade for anything.
From Drama to Downloads
Now, I get to help others glow up — inside and out. Whether it’s supporting my son Zarek in his performance career or designing tools for your own transformation, my work is fueled by soul, sequins, and a surprising amount of spreadsheets.

What jobs have you had? Did one of them involve glitter, emotional labor, or an actual sword fight in the break room? (No judgment.)
