A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tori Ortiz and I am a 19 (almost 20!) year old sophomore at Texas State University. I am currently studying early childhood education and plan on being an elementary school teacher.

I worked as a gymnastics coach in high school for two years as well as a pre school teacher for 3 months over summer. I am the eldest of four siblings. I have an 18 yr old brother, 12 yr old sister and 4 yr old brother. My siblings are my life! They truly are my biggest blessings! I enjoy reading, spending time with family/friends, shopping, cooking, and absolutely love the outdoors!
