I come from a close-knit family. When my sister became ill, it was only natural that I tried to help her manage her healthcare issues, and her children. When my sister passed away, I stepped in again to take care of my nieces and nephews. When I was a single mother with my own son, I went to night school to obtain my Master’s degree in Business Administration. While attending LIU, I worked at AIG, a Fortune 500 company as the Operations Manager in their Corporate Legal department. I worked hard at AIG, and while I faced many challenges, I was never deterred. Eventually, after years of hard work and dedication to others, I decided to open a general contracting firm, TaylorMade Contracting.
