I grew up in Indianola, IA and lived there my entire life until 2006, when I moved to West Des Moines. My dad works for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and my mom is a homemaker. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My husband Melvin and I were married in 2006 and have two children: Kristen, 4 years old, and Joaquin, 2 years old. I am close to my family and generally see them every weekend. We also enjoy visiting my husband’s family in El Salvador.
