About

I am 25 years old. I was born in Mexico, but I was raised in San Diego, California. I've been working in the teaching field for 5 years, at school setting and online. I've worked as a general contractor for a year while remotely teaching English to Chinese students. I also love working in group settings. I consider my oustanding qualities to be an adaptable personality, a motivated work ethic, and willing to work under pressure.
