Biography:

I am a Hispanic woman working at an architecture firm in the Housing Department based in Fort Worth. I am recently married and have immediate family in the DFW area, but the rest of my family is mostly in Mexico and a few other places. I chose architecture not just because I like it, but because I wanted a challenge as well; I like to problem-solve and I want to make sure that solution is elegant, not just the bare minimum. I also want to help people and make a positive impact on someone’s life.
