What was your very first job?

My first job was working at my school’s store where we would sell snacks to other students during lunch time. I was part of the entrepreneurial path at Capital High School in Santa Fe and part of our learning included knowing how to run a store.  It was a lot of fun and I got to learn the basics about cash management, customer service, inventory and much more.

What’s your favorite part of working here?

My favorite part of working here is getting to work alongside knowledgeable and caring individuals, while doing what I love. It is important for me to serve my community and work towards breaking down barriers by increasing access to resources and education leading to the building of wealth for themselves and future generations.

What do you do when you’re not working?

When I am not at work, I like to spend my time doing yoga, going bike riding down the bosque, dancing, camping…pretty much anything outdoors. I also value spending my time with the people I love. Though I like being active, I also do my fair share of Netflix binge-watching.
