Garcia enjoys writing and in her down time, which is rare, loves to read books. Garcia’s biggest inspiration to succeed is her family who she wishes to support. Garcia is a full-time supervisor in a department store which leaves her with very little free time due to the hectic and inconsistent work schedule.
