Mrs. Marroquin was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States at the age of six, settling in Mercer County, New Jersey. In high school, she met her husband, who later joined the Army after graduation. Over their 21 years as a military family, they were blessed with four beautiful children. Military life brought various experiences and challenges for Mrs. Marroquin, but she always found herself as a compassionate mediator, providing support to others in need. Proud of her Spanish heritage, she feels that the opportunities to use Spanish are endless. Mrs. Marroquin is passionate about preserving Spanish as a first-choice language for the youth, recognizing that they are the future.
