I was born in Tampico, Mexico. I graduated Valedictorian of my Medical School at the UNE Universidad Del Noreste in 1984 where I met my husband Ken. We are happily married and will be celebrating our 40th anniversary this August. We have 4 children Pamela, Peter, Kyle, and Brittany and 4 grandchildren.I enjoy watching movies, traveling, exercising, gardening, reading and overall spending time with my family and friends.

What do you enjoy most about being on the Library Advisory Board?
I enjoy working with like-minded people, which I consider is the first step to build camaraderie and become a strong team as Board Members and Advocates for our Library. I firmly believe that by providing quality programs and innovative ways to get our community involved, we are helping to strengthen the future generations to become good positive productive citizens.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? It's what my dad said when I asked him why some people suffer so much and he answered: "You are the Architect of your own destiny" I never forgot what he said, and now that advice/statement resonates profoundly with me.

What is your favorite book genre? And why?
At the moment, probably Romance. I'm a sucker for people being so in love with one another that it changes the narrative of the story.
What book are you currently reading?
If You'll Have Me by Eunnie
