I love being a part of one of the most noble professions on earth. I am blessed to be a first generation college graduate. I am honored to have been raised by stellar parents who started off life with little means but constantly strived for more when it came to their children. I am proud to be a Puerto Rican woman small business owner. I appreciate my new close-knit community where pets are treated as family members. I hope to set a tremendous example for my daughters where they will grow up understanding the value of hard work and dedication for their best lives. I will share the knowledge I gained from my parents of acknowledging the difference between wants and needs, to save rather than spend, to be kind to others, and to find happiness in life's little moments.
