My name is Cesar H. Ortiz. I am an undergraduate at New Mexico State University studying Wildlife Science. I am from El Paso, Texas, my father is from Chihuahua, Mexico, and my mother is also from El Paso, Texas. Living on the border has helped me learn both Spanish and English while maintaining contact with all my family members in Mexico. After graduation, I plan on pursuing a Master's degree and a job in a government agency such as the National Park Service or US Forest Service.
