Neeila D Borquez, born on March 25, 1991, in Bisbee
Arizona. I was raised in a small border town named Naco, Sonora and returned to
Bisbee at the age of twelve. I am from Mexican heritage and I was raised
surrounded by its culture and traditions. I often spent my time raising my
four-year-old son and completing my bachelor's degree and the University of
Arizona.
I love reading and learning about others. I currently
work for a company who offers services to individuals with mental health
problems. Two and a half years of experience in this field lead me to the
feeling that there’s always something new to learn. This work environment also
gives me a blind hope of a better world with a more sense of humility.
I attended Cochise College and obtained my Associate's
degree in Communications. After graduating I took a four-year gap in order to
attend the university and look for a further education, since my priority
became to raise my child. When going back to school, I decided to work on a
bachelor's degree in Human Services and a minor in Psychology. I began this
career with the desire of changing someone’s life and contribute in a positive way
to the surrounding communities. This eventually gives me the opportunity to
meet great people that fill me with their knowledge and contagious me with their
enthusiasm on helping those in need.
Today, I continue
to work as a Direct Support Professional, attending university full time, and
enjoying my son’s company. If there’s any free time left, I enjoy reading,
drawing, painting, and getting together with my family.
