Young Entrepreneurs
Business Fair

In 2018, I co-founded the Young Entrepreneurs Business Fair.  In these past two years, we have mentored 45 young entrepreneurs through the process of establishing their own businesses through a series of workshops concentrated on Developing a Business Plan, Time Management, Branding, Shop Operations & Packaging, and Budgeting. .

25 Tips to Living Better

I had the great honor of being a guest speaker at a women’s event called 25 Tips to Living Better! hosted by Dawn Gardner of DG Photography.  It was an amazing evening full of outstanding women   sharing their life experiences and advice for overcoming obstacles. 

Care Boxes for Women's Shelter

My sister, Patricia Douglas, Owner of MelAnt Rush Crafts & Home Decor, volunteered to collect care boxes for the local battered women's shelter.  I enjoyed being part of this project and donated this pretty little box full of personal hygiene items. 

Osbourn High School Professional Development Center

This Spring, I was asked to design, the first of its kind, Professional Development Center (PDC)/ Lending Closet at Osbourn High School.  The PDC will provide donated clothes to students who are representing the school or community in an official capacity, attending internships, professional field trips, job interviews, local/state competitions and part-time jobs. Students can also work on and print their resumes, and practice their interview skills by attending mock interview sessions. With no funds available for this project, I donated my time, labor and materials.  

Hispanic Heritage Celebration
​

I am a member of the Prince William Chamber, Veterans Council, Hispanic Council, and Ambassador Committee.  For the 2018 Hispanic Heritage Event I had the distinct pleasure of being a guest speaker at the Hylton Performing Arts Center.  It was a great night filled with friends, and family.
