Personal: Is majoring in nursing… Daughter of Maritess and Christian Garcia… Has two younger siblings—Marianne and Ranielle… Aspires to be a great nurse like her mom.  “She has been working as a nurse for almost 20 years and I hope to be as hard-working as she is.  Both my parents have sacrificed a lot for me to have the life that I do.”… Likes to spend free time hanging out with friends and can also be found playing video games or crocheting.

Why I Chose CMU: “I played against CMU during my sophomore year at South Mountain CC and saw a team I can see myself being a part of. CMU also has a great nursing program. I also grew up being able to see mountains outside my window so I knew that Grand Junction would be a place I’d enjoy.
