Gabrielle's Story
Life
Since I've never listed anything on this before I guess I could give the whole rundown since high school. Let's see... After Smith Academy I finished my high school years at Portsmouth Academy in New Hampshire. I traded in my Smith pom poms for the theater and loved every minute of it. PHS led to Spelman in ATL where I spent my freshman and sophomore year. Eventually I got homesick and went back to NH to finish out my college career at the University of NH. All in all I spent 5 years in college and switched majors 5x. I ended up with an English degree which to me 3 semesters to complete the course work. While at UNH I was very involved in Student Activities and realized you could get paid for a living hanging out a college so I went on to work one year at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH and then went on to work and attend grad school at Shippensburg University. I graduated Ship May 11, 2002! What a wonderful day! From Ship I headed down to MD to Loyola College where I spent 3 years. Funny I thought I'd stay at that job forever, and instead I ended up being one of...Expand for more
the first to leave out of my cohort that began with me. Once I stopped getting invited to college parties I figured I was too old for the live in experience anymore so I got a real job. I worked as a training specialist for the state of MD moving yet again to another part of the the state. And then for the last year I have been working for the federal government and of course that involved another move.
In the midst of all this I have a beautiful daughter who turned 11 this past January. She is my little twin and my favorite person. She was just accepted into a magnet school here in Baltimore and she will be majoring in Spanish for her middle school career.
She and I recently started a business and we are learning the ins and outs of being business owners. Our business venture is called Imani Briez Gifts. We are gift consultants, we offer several different opportunities like catalog and web shopping, School and community fundraisers and we are also looking into becoming wholesale distributors.
Life is good! Life is a blessing! And I am loving every moment!
