I would like to acknowledge my parents John and Virginia Simmons, for the values they instilled in me. Their love for family and persistence to press on when encountering adversity, to trust in God and listen when He speaks.

To a wonderful person, my grandmother, Maryetta Murphy, I miss you. You saw my potential before I knew what my goals would be and pushed me to have confidence in myself. You were the beginning foundation of what I have become.

Thank you, to all of my closest friends and family that have always been there for me supporting and encouraging me to explore and embrace my creative side.
