Her Journey Begins
Anita’s journey began in 2010 as a young, single mother navigating a new country, culture, and way of life. Just two years into her move to the United States, she faced the pressures of creating stability while adjusting to an unfamiliar system.
With limited support, she made the difficult decision to pause her education and focus on caring for her daughter. It was a choice rooted in love and foresight—one that would shape her path.
In time, she returned to school with renewed clarity. Every challenge became a building block in a life defined by resilience, faith, and purpose. Anita’s story has never been about shortcuts—it’s about showing up fully and building forward with intention.
From Caregiver to Advocate
In 2013, Anita stepped away from work to care for her father during his battle with stage four lung cancer. When that chapter ended, she discovered her job had been eliminated.
What could have been a setback became a turning point. Witnessing the gaps in her father’s care awakened a deeper calling: to advocate, lead, and build systems that prioritized dignity.
She entered healthcare as a Patient Ambassador—offering calm, compassion, and advocacy during patients’ most vulnerable moments.
“Every voice matters—especially when it advocates for the voiceless.”
From there, she pursued a Bachelor’s in Healthcare Management, rising through the ranks from front desk roles to supervisory positions. Her leadership was shaped not by titles, but by presence, purpose, and persistence.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
Over the next decade, Anita advanced to become an Executive Center Director. She led multi-site healthcare operations, managed multimillion-dollar budgets, and served underserved communities, especially seniors aged 55 and older.
Along the way, she earned her MBA and became a John Maxwell Certified Leadership Coach. But her most powerful lessons came not from certifications, but from the people she served—and the responsibility of leading with heart.
The Shift Toward Legacy
After a decade in healthcare leadership, Anita faced an unexpected crossroads—one that marked the end of a chapter and the beginning of her purpose-led journey as a founder.
In that moment, she chose to build. What began as one bold decision became four thriving ventures—each rooted in clarity, impact, and alignment.
“When systems closed their doors, God opened mine.”
Why “Star”?
The name wasn’t chosen. It was given.
One day, an elderly patient looked at Anita and said, “You’re a star,” and from that moment on, the name followed her. It spread throughout the workplace—first as a compliment, then as a reflection of the light she brought into every room.
It became a symbol of hope, clarity, and presence. Today, that name lives on through her work, her brand, and her impact.
