Description

Hi, my name is Luz. I am from Houston, Texas with a background in environmental engineering. I worked as an engineer for nearly 10 years where I did a lot of field work, managed projects and budgets, wrote proposals, and trained new employees. I love to travel and discover new places. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, and birdwatching. I also love crafting and more recently have been doing a lot of quilting. I am a pretty low maintenance person and enjoy trying new things and keeping busy.
