I am a product of two hard working Dominican parents. I love to read, explore the city, check out Jazz shows, hang out with friends, and go to hookah lounges. I was born in Washington Heights but have lived in Queens my entire life. I am pursuing a career in eductation. I have taught High School Global History for a year, currently subbing and completing my Masters Degree.

Right now, I am focusing on obtaining my Master's Degree in Secondary Education/ Social Studies.

Currently substituting at different schools until I find a new permanent position.

During the baseball season (April to September), I work at Citifield, home of the NY Mets. I'm a host, I work at the different VIP entrances and VIP clubs and assist the fans. It is a really fun job despite my Mets losing a lot of their home games.

...being a loyal friend, after an insecure year of teaching I felt that I was actually a good caring teacher.

My future as an educator in this city for this wonderful mayor of ours (sarcasm), different Jazz shows I want to check out, my family, the well being of others, my health.

Going to a jazz show, watching a movie with friends, hanging out at the local beer garden, trying out different restaurants.

I'm not fluent in Spanish and every Hispanic I know (including grandma) always gives me a hard time, lol.

... you enjoy going out to the city, exploring different cultural settings and engaging in deep conversations.
