Where are you from originally?  Where are you currently located?  

I’m from San Jose. Born, raised and I still live here! 

Let us know a fun fact about you?   

I’m afraid of flying. I’ve only been on a few flights and it was only to LA. 

What do you do for fun? What are some of your hobbies?  

I enjoy hiking, video games, reading, listening to music, watching shows and movies. 

Best part about working for RAR?  

Seeing all the different types of books we have in the RAR library for children to read with their families and packing them with love as we send them off for families to enjoy together.  

What is something you are most proud of?  

My parents!
