I am the youngest of 5 children. I was born in Guatemala and moved to the United States when I was almost 7. I grew up in Costa Mesa and graduated from Estancia High School. I attended Cal State Fullerton where I got a bachelors in Liberal Studies. I also got my teaching credential from there too. I served a mission in New Jersey and a year later married Joe. Seven years later we were blessed with our twins, Hyrum and Hannah. They are the joy of our lives.
