I'm a single mom of 2 boys and I grew up with 3 brothers, only one sister. I'm a bit of a tomboy while my sister is more feminine. I believe being a woman has more than one face. We are allowed to step out of the traditional box and share who we really are, even if it isn't what is expected.

My mom is from Chile and my dad was born in Nevada. I was born and raised in America. I am not fluent in Spanish but grew up with it in my home. I take after my mom so I get plenty of confused looks from native Spanish speakers when I tell them I don't know Spanish.

I have a huge love for Japanese animation, don't laugh.  I've watched it since childhood and it is my inspiration for expanding on my love of drawing.  I very much want to get my bachelor's degree in illustration some day.

I joined the US Navy when I was 20 years old as a gunner's mate.  I was active duty working with the SEAL teams in Coronado, San Diego before switching over to the reserves.  I had an honorable discharge and was inactive for 5 years, then I rejoined the reserves.  I am now a master-at-arms, which is military police.

In an effort to be more active and have something fun to do with my boys, we started taking karate together. It's a blast! I'm glad I joined a group I've always wanted to be a part of, finally. Plus, I think it will help me with my job in the reserves.
