Words to live by: “In a world full of hate, all that’s left is to give love.” – Mac Miller

Community Involvement:  Torres volunteers for the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Convivir Colorado.

If I could improve the world, I would…

“…. Make sure everybody knows that it’s okay to feel.  We don’t need to hide our humanity.  We love, we cry, we care, we feel.”
