I love small towns  because people are genuine and treat each other like family. Coming from Corpus Christi every day is a pleasure not a chore. I attended A&M Corpus Christi and have spent my last fifteen years in this wonderful community. Christine Gregoire stated, "One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so." I am committed to empowering individuals from this fine community.
