I will be sitting for the CPA exam in Nov03 with a goal to pass all four parts in one sitting. One of my passions in life is to spend time with my 8 year old daughter, family, and friends. I have been so blessed with the presence of the wonderful women in my life and look forward to further expanding my "Sister Circle" of friends."

		Rochelle Flood Advisor Email address: iroflood@hotmail.com I call Houston, TX home. My BA in Mass Communications has provided me with several career options. After graduating from Southwest Texas State University, a move to Los Angeles gave me a first hand look into the world of fashion. As a Fashion Assistant to several designers and CODE Magazine, I honed my stylist skills and developed a desire to help women look and feel their best. I currently reside in Houston with careers in elementary education and make-up artisty. I am dedicated to helping the members, as well as myself, discover and become our individual purpose.
