About Me

I am a divorced mother of three. I take chances, put myself out there, and am not afraid to go it alone. I received my cosmetology licence as a Nail Technitian, and I am self employed. I truly enjoy going to work each day. I moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in 2004, after the birth of my third child, in seach of a better life for my family. It was the best decision I ever made, I love this town! I was born and raised in San Diego, California. Beware that makes me a devoted Chargers and Padres fan. I attended San Diego State University for two years. I do miss the beautiful beaches of California. I am a very passionate person. I thrive off of learning about anything and everything I can possibly absorb. I have a love for food and wine. I try to take one day at a time. Simple pleasures like reading a book,or going to sunday mass are where I find my serenity. Working out at the gym helps me stay healthy, both mentally and physically. Going out to have a good time with friends always makes me happy. Whether I'm on the back of a cruiser, horseback riding, camping, hiking, or lying on a beach somewhere, I love the outdoors! Laughter is a neccesity in my life! I am one of the most sarcastic people you will ever meet. Laughing with friends and family is the best medicine. I am very loyal to the ones I love. My friends are absolutely priceless to me, I don't know what I'd do without them. My children are my driving force in life, when I succeed in what I do it is because of them, and more importantly for them.
