Bio

I am senior student graduating from ASU in December 2016 with a BA in Social and Behavioral Sciences and my minor will be in Social Cultural Anthropology.  I love my native Phoenix!  I was born in 1975 in South Phoenix and raised in the West Phoenix area of Maryvale. Since 1985, I have resided in North Glendale.  My interests are in Urban History and a love for Sociology.  I am a mother of five children that give me all the more reason to keep learning and pursuing my education.  With all its characters and life, I firmly believe that the world is the best educational yard to play in.
