Karla Arenas Valenti: My name is Karla Valenti. My original name is Karla Patricia Arenas Russell. So, growing up in Mexico, you usually have two last names. You have your father's last name and your mother's last name. So, I was born Karla Patricia, and then my father's last name was Arenas. And my mother's last name is Russell, because she's Irish. So, for most of my life I was Karla Patricia Arenas Russell. And then I got married, and so I took on my husband's name, and that's Valenti. So, Karla Valenti. But, I love the Arenas part, and I didn't want to leave that behind. So, I slipped that in between my first name and my last name, and I go by Karla Arenas Valenti.
