About Me: I grew up in Guatemala City and moved to the town of Henry Illinois when I was a sophomore in highschool. I have two younger brothers, Nico and Christopher.

Favorite Thing About My Job: I’ve always lived in an apartment and finally got a dog last year when my family and I moved into a house. I love coming into work and seeing all the different animals. Spending time with them at Ancare is my favorite part of the day.
