After obtaining her degree from the University of Panama by putting herself through school and working for the US Army in the Corozal Canal Zone she immigrated to the US. While attending Ebenezer Institute she met now Pastor Eduardo E. Coney. There Mr. Coney shared his passion for the well being of orphaned children in their native land of Panama and around the world. Together they created the US Panamanian Charity. In 2002 the organization was established. Shortly after they incorporated Spectrum International Children Inc to extend the support of helping children globally. In 2008 the US Panamanian Charity changed its name to (SIC) Spectrum International Children, where she further continues to help the mentally ill, handicapped, and orphaned children through out the world.
