What is your favorite thing about living in the Big Country? My favorite thing about Abilene is the community. It is very laid back and the people here are very friendly and welcoming. When I first moved here, people would say it’s a great place to raise kids and over the years I can say that they were right!
What do you do in your free time? I love to read both traditional books and audio books when I travel. I love going to the movies with my family, especially if it is a Marvel movie. I loved reading comic books as a kid, still do. During the winter months, I like to knit and crochet. Mostly scarves but I have made a few blankets.

As a Hispanic business woman living in this great community, I feel it is important to help promote Hispanic businesses and welcome others to network with the Hispanic community.
What’s the last book you read or what’s your favorite book? Winning by Jack Welsh. This one was such a great read. It is a down to earth book, with a lot of great advise for anyone looking to grow professionally. I highly recommend it!
