Before I am anything, a woman or a student, I am a farm kid.
The value of agriculture, work, and family provided me with experiences

“I love you”
Such words ring true—

A crimson fox
With a cream tipped tail
Scurried along
Under the garden veil

Taquitos dance with flavors rich and bold.
With each bite, a fiesta in the night,
A symphony of spices, hot and cold.

His words make my eyes water
On stage he slaughters
He captivates his audiences, his stare
