Another obstacle was selecting the target audience in which I was going to hear my books towards even though my message was created to appeal to all ages. All my challenges have been handled by praying, talking it over with my parents, prioritizing, and putting things in perspective.

My plans for the future consist of me graduating from college and pursuing acting full time. I may work another career though only because I enjoy exploring new trades. What I am proud of are the accomplishments I have had throughout the years. I’ve become a motivational speaker, I’ve filmed in over a dozen films, I’m an author of Back Pack Lilly; my second children´s book which is scheduled for release this fall. I’ve received numerous award for my accomplishments, spoken at engagements, had the opportunity to co-host on a radio talk show for teens. My goal has always been to inspire as many kids, teens, and people as I can.
