WHO AM I?I was born July 14, 1973 in Bellflower, CA and I grew up most of my life in the Riverside/Woodcrest area.

I have been married for 19 years to a wonderful husband and I am a very proud mother of two boys and two dogs.

I work full time and I am also pursuing a bachelor degree in psychology through the CBU-OPS Program.

I am very committed to giving some of my time to volunteer work and I am currentlyon the executive board, serving as the treasurer, for a high school parent booster club.

GOALS, VALUES, AND AMBITIONS

I currently work full time as a high school registrar, but my ultimate goal is to become a guidance counselor.

I value the connections I have, and continue to build upon, with my family, my friends, and God.

My ambitions are to graduate with a Bachelor degree in psychology in June 2015; whereas afterward I plan to enroll in a graduate program to earn a Masters degree in Educational Counseling with PPS credentialing.

FAMILY

My side of the family is rather small, while my husbands family is rather large and I couldn’t ask for better in-laws!

I have one younger brother (married with two kids) and one older half-brother (single). My mom lives about 20 miles away and my dad passed away in July 2005.

INTERESTS AND HOBBIES

I love to shop and my ultimate favorite store of all time is Nordstroms!

I like spending time at the beach and listening to the waves come crashing in!

I love dolphins and I have a collection of beautiful crystal figurines.

When I have time, I enjoy scrapbooking, where I let my creativity shine.

My favorite vacation is going to the lake and cruising around all day on the boat or jet-ski.

COMMUNITY SERVICEI love giving back to my community and I enjoy working with youth agencies to help them fundraise, in order to offset the out of pocket costs for families.

I served on the executive board for the Orangecrest Pony Baseball organization for three years as the secretary.

I was a member of the School Site Council Committee for five years at a middle school and a high school.

I assisted with the start-up of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit parent booster club at a high school, which is designed to support all clubs/athletic teams on campus.

I served as Vice-President, President, and I am currently the Treasurer, in charge of handling the funds and bookkeeping, which keeps me extremely busy!!

FAITH AND MEANINGFUL SCRIPTURESI found Jesus and was baptized when I was 12 years old.

I now enjoy reading the bible and I especially like finding inspirational scriptures that apply to my life, some of which include:

2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (ESV).

James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him” (ESV).
