About

Hello, I am a driven 20-year old who is currently attending the College of Southern Nevada. I receive my A.A with an emphasis in anthropology spring of 2017. I have a passion for culture and folklore. As a little girl traveling around northern and southern Mexico, my passion for culture grew immensely. I realized that my passion for culture was a connection from oneself, my ancestors, and the world around me. I wanted to learn more in why we do what we do, and for this reason, culture has made a huge impact in my life.
