Biography:

Born in the west side of San Antonio, Alazan Courts, then moved to the southside of San Antonio at the age of 5. Grew up with six siblings, five of which were boys. I grew up having to be tough, but I attribute my strength to God and my mother.

I married at the age of 19 and in December 2019 we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. My husband is also a former South San Bobcat. We have three children. Tori 23, Aaron 19 and Myles 18.

While I do not have a college education, I am a continuous learner. I’ve learned the value of hard work and holding yourself accountable for where you are in life. Bad things happen sometimes but it’s what we do, the choices we make when those things happen that will determine your personal and professional success so choose wisely.
