I AM...
- A proud Mexican-American raised by two immigrants who came to this country with nothing but the desire to give us a better life. I was given the biggest gift I could have ever received from my parents: an opportunity for a better future.
- A mother of two beautiful children: Camila, who is 5, and Uriel Jr., who is 14 months. I am happily married for eight years to my soulmate, Uriel Niebla.
- Someone who always strives to be the best version of myself, including being humble and kind. I try to see the best in people even when they can’t see it for themselves.
- Family-oriented. My family is everything to me – I adore them. I have an older sister and a younger brother who are literally my best friends and confidants.
- Someone who loves people who believe that they can positively change the world and actually take action to do so
- A big fan of podcasts
- A LOVER of white chocolate, who hates dark chocolate
- Absolutely terrified of horror movies
- A person that strangely loves to put honey on my pizza. It’s so yummy.
- Someone who has been bungee jumping and it was one of the most intense and exciting experiences of my life
