I was born in St. Jude hospital in Southern California. Ever since then I spent my entire life here with my close family. We were instilled with the idea of higher education, and pride of work, which was passed on to me particularly. Ever since I was a child I had a passion for creation, and working with my hands. Whether playing with legos or drawing houses and buildings, I knew I was meant for the art of creation. I spent my youth going through the motions of school, until I reached Cal Poly Pomona, which gave me a freedom and access that I’ve never had before. With looser structures and a focus on individual freedoms, I’ve found that there were more classes than I could take. Of course it came at a price, and now I find myself working two jobs to fulfill my dream of creating something great. So thank you for giving me the resources to fulfill that dream.
