I was born in a small town in the state of Michoacán in Mexico, but was four years old when my family migrated to the US and settled in Manson. I attended Manson Schools, then became the first in my family to go to college and graduate from Gonzaga University. My work experience brought me back to the Lake Chelan Valley in 2012 and I could not be happier to raise my daughter, Natalee, in this wonderful community.

Currently, I am the Parent Involvement & MHS Internship Program Coordinator for Manson School District. My passion has always been to serve others. Growing up here in Manson, I had wonderful teachers/community members who encouraged me, believed in me and saw my potential. That is the reason I will always give back and do the same for others. I feel blessed to be a part of Thrive and work with other amazing individuals to make a difference in the lives of our youth here in our beautiful valley!
