Amy's Biography
I was born in Havana, Cuba, and moved to Miami, Florida, when I was 5 years old. I was raised in a city called Hialeah, Florida, which is one of the largest Spanish-speaking communities in the country. I attended Florida International University for undergraduate and graduate school where I earned a Masters in Higher Education Administration. For the past two years I have lived in San Marcos, Texas, and worked at Texas State; so far it has been an amazing experience. I am the youngest of 7 siblings, I like to play sports, board games, watch movies and travel.
