    "...Multi-talented person who does not fear challenges or changes, but they also know that I know my limits and I know when and how to say no and how to speak up for myself when it is necessary...My work looks genuine and it is for a reason. It is coming from the heart of a proud Colombian. From the heart of the proud Latina, who loves how she looks, how she sounds, and hopes that those watching learns how to do that for themselves."
