I am twenty-five years old and I am from El Paso, TX. I was born and raised in the border city of El Paso, TX and I am proud of my roots. I am the youngest of three boys, and the first to earn a Bachelor’s degree. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Minor in Science from New Mexico State University.
