I truly value my family and am blessed to be the mother of four wonderful children. Anatasha holds a Masters Degree and is a Social Studies teacher for the Magnet school at Bowie High School, Dante is in the architecture program at EPCC, Mario also attends EPCC and my baby, Ariella is a junior at El Paso High School. Just as I was taught to have the courage and strength to do the right thing, I have instilled these same values in my children.

I am no stranger to adversity. I have faced many difficult challenges along the way but can appreciate all my life experiences. I know what it means to work hard and I know what it means to sacrifice. I raised my four children and had to be mother, father and sole supporter normally working several jobs at a time. I know what it means to make tough decisions in the face of all odds. No matter how difficult the problem or how overwhelming the situation, I was able to always find a solution.
