Because my father was a migrant construction worker, my family did not settle down. We moved frequently between New York and Florida, and lived with relatives, in motels, or out of our car.

I attended all four years of high school at Jim Thorpe Sr. High School. High school was a challenging experience. In addition to attending high school, I enrolled in dual enrollment courses and worked multiple jobs to supplement my family's income.
I was the first person in my family to earn a high school diploma, and did so 7 months pregnant with my oldest child.

I am proud of my Latina heritage, but cannot speak Spanish. I am frequently told that I'm not a "real" Puerto Rican, and I guess that's not completely untrue- I was born in New York.

I have 2 younger sisters that I absolutely adore. When I was 15 our family became a single parent household. My sisters and I became closer than ever and relied on each other for strength. I even became the legal guardian of my sisters after leaving home.
