Summary

I am the kid of a single mother who growing up lived in a 1 bedroom apartment with my mom and sister sharing a bed. I am the first person in my family of Mexican/American s to have gone to a 4-year university. Construction has always been a passion of mine. I spend my time doing projects whether its on my property from building flowerbeds for my mom to constructing outdoor sheds with insulation and popper roofing which I have on my property. I have multiple family members in the construction/hands on workforce who I have shadowed numerous times. I played 3 sports all through high school for all 3 seasons. I plan to be a passionate sponge for learning and information and cant wait to be immersed in the field in any way possible.
