Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an 18-year resident of Irvine and truly enjoy living here and raising my family in this beautiful community. I was born and raised in Santa Ana Ca. I came to Irvine on one of the low income programs Irvine offers. I decided to move to Irvine because of the school system, beautiful parks, clean air and safe streets. I used that program as a stepping stone by going back to school to option my Masters degree in Psychology and raising my daughter in schools equivalent to private schools. Moving forward, I'm know longer on the low income program, I met the love of my life in this community and he asked for my hand January 2019.
