Life to me is a journey of discovery. Discovery of spirituality. Discovery of people. Discovery of self. Personally, I try to exercise the fruitage of Gods spirit by living by Galatians 5:22,23 which tells us that His “spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, and self- control. Against such things there is no law.” It fascinates me that when displaying these qualities, you can never be too loving or too kind or etc., so I always try to improve whenever I see a need for change in myself trying to remain humble. I have been very blessed to have many rewards due to this scripture and attitude, such as long-lasting meaningful friendships as well as strong family bonds. One of these friendships granted me the opportunity to join the Kelly family and I feel privileged to be part of Kelly team.
In the morning I often enjoy my butterfly garden, pondering how the beautiful creatures I adore so much, mimic my personality in growth and change. Insects are my favorite to admire by boldly enjoying their little legs tickle my hands. On weekends as I capture beautiful photos of these little ones, I gravitate to enduring butterflies, courageous dragonflies, and bountiful birds, learning so many lessons from their awesome personalities. Afternoons are enjoyed outside watching twilights glory through the eye of my Canon Rebel lens, focusing on cumulous clouds and magnificent colors. I have been taking photos since I can remember and presently my specialty is macro and landscape photography. Evenings are spent growing in knowledge such as reading the bible, studying software opportunities, or practicing my painting skills. In everything I am an Artist, displaying my works through the tip of my brush, eye of my lens and in word through the “art of teaching” (Titus 1:9).
Born and raised in Haiti, I made my first trip to America at the age of 21. In my free time I enjoy playing and writing songs. I have had a lot of great experiences at Kelly roofing, and really enjoy the family like experiences we get to share.
