Hello, my name is Cindy Williams, I am a representative of Primerica Financial Services and have been with the company for 18 years (1). In 2007 I was introduced to Primerica and saw an opportunity to help my community and own my own business at the same time.
Our mission statement is “to help families earn more income, become properly protected, debt free and financially independent.” I enjoy helping people and Primerica has given me a vehicle to utilize my finance background and to help people get on the road to financial freedom.
One way I can help people in our community is to offer a complimentary financial needs analysis, which helps educate families about their options for life insurance, debt reduction, college planning and savings for emergencies and retirement.
Primerica is always looking for leaders who are motivated, want to help families and are interested in a exciting business opportunity in the financial services field.
For more information contact me at my office:

Hi, I’m Pamela Hernandez. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of exploring a variety of roles, starting in Travel & Tourism and later transitioning into the technical fields of Engineering, Science, and now Business Development. My journey began with developing strong people skills and an organizational mindset, which ultimately led me into engineering. Over the years, I’ve honed my expertise in AutoCAD drafting and design, specializing in creating precise, detailed drawings that support a broad range of engineering projects.
What sets me apart is my ability to blend technical knowledge with a client-focused approach. I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships that drive business growth and always seek new challenges to contribute to a team committed to delivering high-quality results.
At MBV Engineering, Inc., along with its sister companies Indian River Survey, Inc. and Florida Environmental Consulting, Inc., we offer a full spectrum of consulting services for residential, commercial, and municipal projects. Our talented team specializes in Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering, Construction Administration, Environmental Assessments, and Surveying. We guide clients through every stage of their projects—from initial design to bidding and construction closeout. By staying ahead of industry trends and local regulations, we ensure that each project is compliant, efficient, and cost-effective.
I’m deeply passionate about the work we do and the opportunity to collaborate with clients and teams to achieve exceptional results. Every project is an opportunity to make a positive impact and contribute to the success of our clients and the communities we serve. As I continue to grow in my career, I’m excited for the future and the opportunity to help shape projects that create lasting value for those we work with.

My name is Karen Sebastiao, owner of Paradise Gifts, Jewelry, and More. I am originally from Fall River , Massachusetts. After 15 years of service, I retired from the local school district. However, prior to that I owned a bead and jewelry store. Unfortunately, I had to close the jewelry store to take care of my aging parents. But, after losing my father, we decided to make the move to Florida and try it again.
I have always had a passion for jewelry and meeting new people. We found the perfect little spot for our new adventure with the friendliest people in Sebastian. We carry sterling silver, gemstones, and beaded jewelry at affordable prices. We also carry nautical decor, gifts and more. Stop by and check us out.
Additionally, I want to give a special thank you to Cheryl and Jennifer at the chamber for all their help on promoting my business.
