FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER
At the age of 34 I found myself at a crossroad. As a single mom with young twins, I took a leap of faith and returned to college to study electrical engineering. The path seemed impossible. I spent nights wondered how I would pay the bills and juggle all the responsibilities.
But then something beautiful happened. I was awarded multiple scholarships which helped ease the financial burden. People believed in me. I discovered yoga and meditation, which taught me to find calm in the chaos and breathe through the hardest moments.
My lab partner, Gabe, even while battling cancer, had a way of reminding me to "See The Endless Possibilities." His words carried me through more than he ever knew and was the inspiration behind See The Endless Possibilities, Inc.
In 2017, I walked across the stage at Florida Atlantic University with both my bachelor's and master's degrees. Today, I work as a Senior Customer Advisor at Florida Power & Light, and my heart is filled with pride watching my twins—now grown—pursuing their own engineering degrees.
This journey taught me that when we lift each other up, incredible things happen. That is why I believe in helping others STEP into the lives they were meant to live.
"Kindness and generosity can change the trajectory of a life."
