Born in the Dominican Republic and immigrating to the United States in 1996, I have been shaped by a deep commitment to service, personal growth, and community. A proud combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I served as both an Infantryman (MOS 0311) and Ground Sensor Operator (MOS 8621). These experiences not only tested my resilience but also ingrained in me core values of discipline, integrity, and a steadfast dedication to serving others.

My formative years were also marked by a strong foundation in martial arts. From ages 11 to 17, I trained and taught karate, ultimately earning the rank of brown belt with stripes—just one step away from achieving my black belt and the title of Sensei. Although family circumstances led me to step away from training, the lessons of discipline, focus, and perseverance have remained central to my approach to life.

As a dedicated single parent to three children, each of whom has pursued higher education, I am constantly reminded of the transformative power of knowledge and personal development. Inspired by my family, I pursued studies in Mental Health and Human Services, which deepened my understanding of well-being and solidified my passion for helping others.

Currently, I am exploring the dynamic field of affiliate marketing, eager to leverage my diverse skills and experiences to connect with others and drive positive change. My ongoing journey is motivated by a desire for holistic growth—spiritually, physically, and mentally. Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy spending quality time with my children, whether it’s playing basketball with my son, roller skating with my daughter, or enjoying video games together on weekends. These moments are a reminder of the importance of family, balance, and continuous learning.
