A MEXICAN AMERICAN GIRL WHO LOVED TO TELL STORIES
The Full Story
According to my parents, when I was little, my favorite thing to do was to throw dramatic tantrums on the kitchen floor. They were performative and very inspired by the Snow White VHS that I had played over and over again in my tiny apartment in Eugene, Oregon. I grew up thinking that the most magical thing that could ever happen to me was a magic carpet ride with a beautiful, tan stranger. I would perform Disney songs and recite all the movies line-for-line in the backyard for my aunts, parents, and grandparents.
Fast forward through my school years, and many different sports, clothing choices, hairstyles, and taste in music - the one thing that never changed was my love for theater and choir. I could be as dramatic as I wanted and people would actually sit and watch... and laugh. Applaud. Sing along. It was everything to me.
My father was an immigrant from Mexico and he came to the USA when he was 21 years old. I credit him for many of my values today. He knew the importance of an education and he always told me I was going to finish college. There was no question.

I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Cinema Studies in 2016. I wanted to be a performer, yet I didn't want to study Shakespeare. So I chose to study my other love: film.
My biggest dream was to move to Orlando after doing a Disney College Program Internship in 2014. I fell in love with the city and its opportunities. I finally found a place where I could be a performer full-time. I would wouldn't stop until I got cast in a Disney show.
In 2017 I was cast in my first show at Universal Studios and one year later I finally achieved my dream of being cast in a Disney show!

My home is now Orlando, Florida and I couldn't be happier. I love obstacle course racing, paddle boarding, kayaking, rock climbing, biking, running, and lifting weights. I love being outside and doing it with my friends. I live life with my husband who is also a performer at the theme parks.
My other hobbies include reading about finance, photography, playing video games, and voiceover.
I hope one day to have a cat.

I want to continue perform in any capacity. This is only the beginning! I want to inspire others to follow their dreams and believe in what they have to offer the world.
