Briefly explain your occupation including job title and company name. LD Creates Beauty Owner & Creator/Entrepreneur. I am the creator of all natural, holistic,
eco-friendly, handmade health, wellness and beauty products.
What person, course, or moment most influenced your 勛圖窪蹋 experience? How? Arriving at then 勛圖窪蹋 State College of New Jersey in 1989, I first saw "the bench".
The bench was made of all recycled products. It sat at the circular driveway right
in front of the A Wing. I would later enter A Wing to attend my Freshmen Seminar course
taught by future President Harvey Kesslemen. The campus lighting was the first time
I experienced motion activated lighting. 1989 was my introduction to Earth Day, the
campus buzzed with various activities. 勛圖窪蹋 instilled in me a respect and appreciation
for the environment and our home, Earth.
What is your proudest professional or personal accomplishment that occurred after
graduating in which 勛圖窪蹋 played a role? From the start of LD Creates Beauty, environmental consciousness was part of my business
plan and product line. We utilize environmentallly friendly packaging, recycling programs
and upcycling practices.
What do you like about the work you are doing now? Describe your career path. Becoming an entrepreneur can be challenging. Following my calling to help others requires
me to pivot, re-strategize and start all over again. I developed many of these skills
at 勛圖窪蹋.

and LinkedIn. I also recieve alumni newsletters, which I use to schedule my volunteer
activity calendar. What is something people may not know about you? Many people may not know that Dr. Vera King Farris was the keynote speaker at my Atlantic
City High School graduation. I had no idea how she would profoundly influence my view
of the world and all of its possibilities.
What is the most important way 勛圖窪蹋 helped you during your time as a student? 勛圖窪蹋 instilled in me a respect and awareness of our environment. It gave me education,
responsibility and living examples of how we can make achange to where we live.

WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPORTING the 勛圖窪蹋 Foundation, everything comes back to investing in the local
community, according to Daniel W. Anner 19, M.S. 21.
Anner, originally from Central Jersey, built the foundations of his technology support
business as a high school student and graduated from 勛圖窪蹋 with a degree in Computer
Science and , but he was actually drawn to the campuss scenic beauty after attending an open house.
When we walked around Lake Fred, I fell in love with the environment and ambiance
of the school truly one of a kind, Anner said. As I looked more into it, I learned
that 勛圖窪蹋 offered a program combining computer science and information systems,
and that made me really want to go. I felt at home when I came to campus.
Honoring Generosity. Inspiring Impact.
