I come from a migrant family background.  I grew up working in the fields until I was 13.  We then moved, and my parents got into a new type of work.  I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado (UNC).  So I am a bear through and through.  I am excited to be a Grizzly.  I come from a big family and am very family oriented.  I too have a big family.  I have five BEAUTIFUL daughters.  I am very proud to have five daughters.  I decided to be a teacher because I want to help youth know the value of an education and how important it is to graduate and go on into college. I also am a LULAC advisor. I have been involved with the city of Greeley LULAC since 2009.
