2. Describe diversity in a word or two and explain what it means to you.
"I chose the word "Flavor" to describe diversity because to be diverse is to different and If you have a lot of differences, you have "Flavor" just like ingredients to food!!! :-)"
3. How has your experience and background prepared you to be effective at
your job?
"Coming from such a diverse heritage, when I joined the Coast Guard, it was easy for me to adapt to the wide range of culture in this service. Working in a job specialty for over 15 years where its primary function is customer service, I’ve been able to interact with people from all walks of life, age, gender, religion, etc. Because I have diversity deeply rooted in me, I’m able to relate to others with an open mind. It’s the main reason why I serve on the unit's Leadership, Diversity, Advisory Council or LDAC. Diversity is who I am."
4. Tell me a little bit about your life outside of work.
"Outside of work, I’m the mother of a 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son. I enjoy taking my kids to new places where they can experience different cultures and activities this country has to offer. My daughter is a model, so we spend a good bit of time doing photo shoots and fashion shows. I also mentor a young single mother in Atlantic City. As a single mother myself, it’s important to me this young mother is empowered with the knowledge and strength that she needs to provide a stable and safe life for herself and her children, not only right now, but in the future."
