Mrs. Lucy Ortiz
I’m very happy to work with this awesome GPS family. I love my job because of the opportunity I have to serve as a communication bridge between school, families, and community. I enjoy working as a team with teachers, students, and their families. I am originally from México, and moved to the U.S. when I married my wonderful husband Juan. He motivates me to be my best every day. We have two beautiful daughters, Raquel (17) and Valentina (15). We are very proud of them and they keep us busy playing soccer and volleyball. As a family, we like any activity together. We love to cook, participate in our church activities, watch movies, travel, and enjoy nature. Nos vemos pronto amigos! =]
