Meet Antoinette!!
I am a United States Air Force Veteran. I would say my greatest accomplishment is my family. I am a proud mom of 3 adult children, Adrian, Larissa, and Emilee. I Married my husband Gonzalo earlier this year. I love living in Pueblo, I was born and raised here, and this is where I want to help my community. My passion is to help those in need which has led me to studying at Walden University and I am on track to graduate with my Bachelors Degree in Human Services in October of 2024. I love spending time with my family playing games and going on vacation.
Some fun facts about Antoinette are:
- I got stuck in the fuel tank of a C5 aircraft
- I won 2nd place in the Air Force talent show
- I have a Mickey Mouse collection
- I still have my childhood teddy bear, her name is Appleface and she has traveled with me everywhere.
- I cry for every sad movie
- I was crowned the American GI Forum Princess in 1977
- I was the loudest mom at my son’s football games, even the announcer asked who the crazy lady was in the stands
- I own about 100 pair of shoes
- I swam in the Mediterranean sea
- I love Belgium chocolate
Antoinette's responses to some fun questions:
If I had a superpower, I would like to be able to fly so I can hover around and look at everyone and everything.
If I entered a talent show, which I did in my military days, I would sing! I love to sing in both English and Spanish.
I would say that the most inspiring thing about my job is being able to help those in need. Most times, people are afraid to ask for help, but I am here to help in any way I can.
