I have a B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I come from the UTSA Office of Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services Call Center, where I was employed for the past 3.5 years as an Enrollment Services Officer and Supervisor. In my free time, I like to attend local shows, read, write, and attempt to train my (fairly) new and only pet, Rocco- the most nonchalant Chihuahua, ever. You'll find I'm constantly snacking, and I always love a piping hot cup of coffee or green tea in the morning or evening.
