What is your favorite food, animal, and book?   

My favorite book is “The Shack”, an amazing novel that helped me understand God’s power to transform human pain and circumstances into forgiveness and acceptance to his will.

My favorite Food is crawfish and shrimp noodles, even though I am Spanish and love some good Mexican spicy steak fajitas, I enjoy some southern meals.

I love cats, and I have 2 wonderful knucklehead cats that make my life crazy.

Who inspires you and why? 

For many years I have had many great people in my life that have inspired me to be the person I am today. My mother is my rock, and she has inspired me all my life. She is a very hard-working nurse, moved us to the states, and helped me to become the mother I am today. I also love Nelson Mandela, his story of determination and hope have changed my view of life and the history of Africa, one quote I love “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.”

What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekends?

I am an explorer by nature. I love outdoors activities, and I enjoy exercising. However, spending time with my 3 boys is among all my favorite things to do on my free time. My boys are very active and amazing athletes, so spending my weekends with them on the soccer fields or watching a good football game is one of my passions.

What three items would you take with you to a deserted island?

My bible will be my number one item, never enough time to read most best seller book there is in the history of humankind. I would also take a pocketknife and a lighter.

What’s your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas is absolutely my only one favorite holiday. I enjoy celebrating with family, cooking, and giving to others what by grace we receive from Our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ. Celebrating Jesus birthday is an amazing time for me and my boys.
