About Me
Hello!
I am a Mexican American gal who loves to travel and is currently finishing up her service in Peace Corps Botswana. I went to school at Indiana University Bloomington for Anthropology and public health. I also have a certificate in Phlebotomy and use to work in a lab before I did Peace Corps. I am a responsible adult who also likes to have fun and try new things!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love at least one or two songs from just about any genre of music but I also love just listening to things depending on the mood and place.
In movies I am so not picky but do love watching movies. My favorites, because I am so cheesy, are The Princess and the Frog, Jurassic Park, Newsies and Hairspray.
I LOVE books. I read mostly fiction but occasionally get engrossed with a powerful or interesting non-fiction book.
Teach, Learn, Share
Fun facts and cultural immersion. Also food, always food. :)
