She also has 12-year-old Yorkshire terrier named Zoe and a 19-year-old Red-eared Slider turtle named Otis as part of the family. Amparo grew up in Novato and has lived in Corte Madera for 7 years. During her free time, she loves spending time with her family and staying active whether it be chasing her 2 ½-year-old daughter or being outdoors.
