Hello! 

I’d like to share a bit about me with you.  I grew up in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with my parents and older sister.  We spent a lot of time outside hiking, visiting monuments, and going to the zoo and aquarium. One of my favorite trips was in High School when I got to visit the Grand Canyon! What a gorgeous site.  In college I traveled to Massachusetts and spent a year up there. I got to see many American historical sites! As an adult I have lived in New Mexico, and then in 2017 I decided I needed to move! I decided on Washington because I had some friends who lived here and they convinced me to move. Washington also has a lot of the things I was looking for. Mountains, ocean, and a big city. It was a hard adjustment at first, but I have loved it ever since. 

Fun Facts about me:

• I had a day named after me

• I was on the cover of a magazine!

• I can't sit still EVER.

• I grew up with two dogs. Currently don't have any pets because of where I live.

• Received my Bachelor of Elementary Education from The University of New Mexico (Go Lobos!) in 2014
