My Motto: Creativity Follows Commitment 
 
In the year 2017, I was able to make a little over $73K+ with all contracts.  Revenue goal in 2018 is $91K. 
 
As far as philanthropy: I donate $600 every month to a scholarship fund for undocumented students attending Spartanburg Methodist College. I was part of a group of students that received a scholarship based on need in '11-'13. I graduated #1 in my class in '13. I graduated top 10 from Converse College and received a BA in Philosophy '15.
 
My hobby: I am working on a project titled Dopamine Express. The goal is to mail over 200+ postcards/packages in 2018 to anyone that will share with me their address. The point is to send positive energy into the world through random acts of kindness. I have already sent 20 cards/packages in 2018!! I welcome new addresses from people I don't yet know - email me at morales.laura.lucia@gmail.com.
