Favorite Quote: “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey (https://youtu.be/1k8craCGpgs)

What I love the most: My Dudes and My Dames, my 4 kiddos plus my bonus child are my life in every single way.

My favorite hobby: I am a fulltime student, part time worker and fulltime mother of 4 plus kiddos, the only hobby I have is whatever they have me doing at that moment. I am their puppet most of the time.

Why am I a mentor? I feel a higher education is something for everyone and anyone. If there is a way in which I can help make that happen, remove any barriers and red tape, or help with just getting started on the path, if there is anything I can to help make the process easier, I want to help! I was held down with doubt, some I have myself and some external factors, now that I know I can, I feel I have a duty to show others that it can be done.

Where do I see myself in 5-10 years? I see myself here at Brazosport College, as an Instructor for Learning Frameworks, I have become a true believer of just how essential this class and program are.

Who is my role model: All the people who have guided me in my life to the right path, those are the ones who taught me that “You do what you have to, so you can do what you want to”. This is not always the easiest path for me, but it is always the right one.
