Her distinct level of excellence has granted her access to a world she only dreamed of. Lena has a gift of being able to connect with people of various backgrounds, cultures, and socioeconomic classes. Her practical knowledge, growing up in Camden, NJ, paired with her corporate experience, thriving in New York City, proves to be special and unique. Although presented with many obstacles and great tragedies Lena persevered, knowing she was destined for greatness. After graduating with honors from Kean University she obtained an internship with CBS and later a full-time position at Inside Edition. She worked her way up from the library to the newsroom, becoming a back up stills producers, researcher, and segment coordinator. After losing a close friend to drug addiction she left the television industry and decided to pursue her passion for changing lives.

She started her own women’s empowerment company called You’re Beautiful Honie, helping women achieve their highest potential for wellness through the healing of their mind, body, and soul. Later she received her Masters Degree in Human Services Counseling, giving her the ability to go beyond coaching and take on counseling as well. After a few years of embracing the idea of entrepreneurship she learned, that some people don’t have the support or resources required to obtain success. So in keeping up with her personal standard for excellence and giving back she established Women Operating in Opulence. A non profit that provides personal and professional development for women.

Lena has worked with the U.S. Army, the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County, The Leaguers, NJPIRG, NY Cares, The Ronald McDonald House, Red Cross, S.O.F.I.A, Project Beautiful You, Zeta Phi Beta, The Women’s Rights Information Center, Head Ladies in Charge, The Power of You Teens, and many others.

She truly enjoys what she does and takes pride in the change she’s created in the lives of other.
