Teaspoon and Pound
As of this writing I a mom of an almost 6-year-old child. I’m also an actress and producer in my late 30′s. I am the youngest of four siblings and the only girl. I’m a graduate of Temple University with a degree in Psychology. I was pre-med, but Organic Chemistry made minced meat of me. Just kidding…kinda. I believe in the Law of Attraction, work hard at being a great mom and am optimistic that I will be able to execute my ideals into a highly profitable business.
