About me

Introduction	I am the middle of three children including a younger and older sister. I am a product of a white high school teacher and an El Salvadorian stay-at-home mom. As a youth I did a lot of relocating. This included a few in New York state, out of state, and eventually even a year and a half stretch in El Salvador. It wasn’t always my favorite thing having short lived friendships but I did see a lot of different places and environments so I can’t complain. I always did well in school. I’m not sure exactly what happened but at some point I lost view of my goals. I picked up playing bass and started working after school as well. I was eventually more focused on being self-sufficient which ironically led to dropping out of high school. I am now twenty three years old. I can best describe this as the “destroy and rebuild” period of my life. This has mostly consisted of me working and for the most part living on my own. I am proud of being entirely financially independent. Recently I have been able to invest in a more long term plan thus returning to school. At this point in my life I can honestly say I stand on my own two feet. So here we are.
