She Lost Herself in Burnout—Then Found Her Purpose in Helping Others Heal
Before I became a Licensed Massage Therapist, I worked as a Human Resources Generalist for a truck manufacturing company. I enjoyed the fast-paced and problem solving nature of the job, but had always felt like I had more to offer.
My first turning point came in the spring of 2021. As the job market began to stabilize after the height of the pandemic, I realized that burnout and deep depression overwhelmed me. I took a leave from work and got the help I needed through Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
The second turning point came that summer during TMS treatment, when something inside me shifted. I realized I needed work that felt purposeful—something that truly helped people. Massage therapy had stayed in the back of my mind for years. I even applied to a school in 2020 but let fear hold me back.
This time, I called that same school. It was August 2021. They had one spot left—the last in the class. I took it. Two weeks later, I walked into my first day of school, nervous but sure.

Paying the Bills with Skills
Before launching TechStart.ai, I worked with innovative tech companies like Uber and Instawork, gaining insight into the transformative power technology holds for individuals and businesses. The pivotal moment came when I saw how many talented people—especially those facing unique life challenges—struggled to access economic opportunities due to a lack of tech skills. That realization sparked a passion to create a platform where technology could empower everyday heroes to thrive economically.

From Rock Bottom to Digital Empire
Before this chapter of my life, I was battling addiction, stuck in a cycle that nearly broke me. I was overweight, undisciplined, and drifting. My turning point came in El Salvador—far from everything I knew—where I found God, clarity, and the courage to rebuild.
That moment wasn’t some dramatic movie scene. It was quiet, humbling. Just me, a Bible, and the realization that if I didn’t change everything, I’d lose everything.
I started rebuilding—mind, body, spirit. I took control of my health, my habits, and eventually my mission. That’s how House of J was born. Not just a business, but a blueprint for others who want to rise from rock bottom and build a powerful life with purpose.

Keeping the Legacy of a Family Member Turns Into a Successful Business
Our Memories in Motion was created in 2007 but the story starts long before. I had a cousin who was always into technology. If there was something new in the tech world he had it. He introduced me to the world of video editing and slide show creation. Unfortunately, we lost my cousin to AIDS and I decided to continue his legacy of video editing and the rest is history. I started Our Memories in Motion just doing slide shows for family and friends and progressed to converting VHS tapes. I started getting asked if I did cassette tapes and records and the services kept growing. The next logical step was to get a website and being the frugal person I am, I decided to research website design. I fell in love with designing my website so I started offering this service to local businesses as well.
