About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am back home making sum $$ so I can leave ASAP.

ABOUT ME

I will be celebrating my 30th bday in Cambodia from 3-1-14 to 3-11-14 and would love to hang out with CS's.

2012 I just finished my Masters in Social Work and will be traveling for 6 weeks as a gift for 2 years of sleepless nights and non-existent social life =)

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the present NOW & take the past and learn from it. I make conscious choices to better the future for all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I take risks and refuse to be another STATISTIC.

Teach, Learn, Share

LEARN: Looking to learn YOGA while in India as well as about the different religions around the world ie, Buddhism, Islam etc. How to cook traditional dishes, especially vegetarian ones. Forms of alternative (NATURAL) medicine.

TEACH and SHARE about my Mexican traditions in particular clarifying those negative stereotypes that affect my people. I will represent MINORITIES in the best possible and respectful manner.
