I am first generation Mexican American and come from a family almost entirely comprised of entrepreneurs. My earliest childhood memories mostly entail my little brother and I riding around with my parents to paint houses, go to the trash dump, or meet up with contractors. "Make it work" was a phrase I understood long before Tim Gunn and a mantra that still motivates me when there seem to be no good solutions.
I was raised in Houston and had two businesses there intermittent with a short career as a recycling consultant. After falling in love with the Bay Area and out of love with Houston, I finally moved to San Francisco when I started Scholarli, my ed tech business. Currently I am studying computer science and looking to break into product management.
Subjects that typically cause me to fall down the rabbit hole:
- Neurology- and how we are using it in technology today
- Open education
- Modern design and architecture
- Psychology- specifically sociopathy, schizophrenia, sexuality, and erotic intelligence
- Biological Anthropology and Relationships
- Primatology
- Yoga
- Surfing
- Travel
- Prison- everything about it
- Anything to do with food- cooking, current studies/debates regarding diet, culinary experiences
