I was born in Medford, Oregon. I lived there for 3 yrs and then moved to Hollister, California. I was raised in a small farming community. I enjoy the outdoors; running, hiking,  and horseback riding are my top 3 hobbies. I grew up in a home where only Spanish was allowed and travelled to Mexico twice a year. I fell in love with my culture and language at a very young age. I love to listen to Spanish music, but most of all, I love to dance to it. I got married 17 years ago and have two wonderful boys. My husband and I continue my parents' tradition and only speak Spanish to our boys. We also like to travel to Mexico and teach them all we can about our culture.
