I was born in Brava, Cape Verde Islands. Cape Verde was a Portuguese colonized island and is situated on the West Coast of Africa. The official language is Portuguese. I speak "Creolo" at home. I moved here with my mom, two brothers and a sister when I was 12 years old. I'm the oldest. I am a naturalized US Citizen and love it. My mom and grandmother made many sacrifices so that I can enjoy my life here in this beautiful country, United States of America. My mom, grandmother and God, along with so many wonderful people that I have met along my path, have given me so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. I have a bachelors degree in Business from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. I grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts and went to Brockton High School. I currently reside in New Rochelle, New York with my husband and two beautiful daughters. I'm interested in traveling all over the world and learning about other cultures. What a wonderful world this would be if we could all learn just one thing about one another? Think about just how much more wonderful and enjoyable life would be. "IF GOD HAD WANTED ME OTHERWISE, HE WOULD HAVE CREATED ME OTHERWISE." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
