What is your position here at SFDS? 

I am the relationship manager for the Southeast side Incubator Experience…which in short means I am one of the directors of the work study program.  

What does that entail? 

Myself and Mr.Chavez are developing a work study program for the high school students here at St. Francis. It will give the students work experience, as well as helping the school with resources. My job is to help with the curriculum and preparation, and then when students begin their jobs, my role pretty much will be the person of contact between your employer and the school… so if there is any communication that needs to happen it will go through me. 

What do you think of SFDS so far? 

I like it, it’s a very welcoming and homey type of feel.  I like the small class sizes. 

Outside of St. Francis, what are some of your hobbies? 

I like to cook and exercise.  I like to spend time with my son, and do “nature type of things”.

Do you have any favorite music, artist or band? 

I have a lot.  I like a lot of Spanish music.  I like rock, alternative rock, hip hop, R&B and pretty much everything.    

What is your favorite movie? 

Gone Girl
