Born in San Antonio and a Graduate of Texas State University with a Bachelors of Arts in History in 2006. My main goal was to become a high school teacher and a coach and to this day carry my Composite Certification to teach High School Government, Economics, World, U.S History and Geography. But life always pushed me towards sales and business. I was a store manager at Verizon Wireless when I attended a job Fair in February of 2013, where I met Lina Garza from New York Life and let's just say the rest is History. I triggered my contract in September of 2013 and was able to win the Foundation Award for selling 100 life insurance cases in my 1st year.
