2. Home Town I am currently living in Mission Viejo. I am moving to Rancho Santa Margarita at the end of the month, Halloween day. My goal has always been to live in Rancho Santa Margarita. I hope to someday own a home in Rancho Santa Margarita. I love the quiet neighborhood, having nature just around the corner, living close to work and the diversity of people. I am originally from Mexico and have lived in the United States since the age of six.

3. My Travels San Francisco Mexico Death Valley I have not traveled much but I would love to travel to New York city, Mexico, Australia and other states. Hopefully next year I will be able to make these trips possible. I am excited to see my family in Mexico, my best friend Beth in New York City and visit a new part of the world.

4. Family and Its History My entire family comes from Mexico. I’m sure we have Aztec ancestry but I have never looked into it. My first language is Spanish. I enjoy translating for people and have found that being bilingual has opened many doors for me. Having the ability to help others by simply translating English to Spanish has made me feel like I am giving back to the community.
