What is a fun fact about you?

When I was 12 years old I won a car in a raffle! That’s the car I use to drive around with to this day!

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

I would love to live in Hawaii because of the slow and peaceful way of life. I’ve grown up near the beach my whole life and would just want to do all sorts of beach activities if I lived there.

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies are acrylic and oil painting, rock climbing, playing soccer and volunteering at my home church as a CORE member. 

Who is one of your favorite artists? 

One of my favorite artists is the painter Frida Khalo. Since I love to paint I’ve been obsessed with her artwork ever since I was 16 years old. I have so many books, clothing, and memorabilia based on her style. She is such an inspiration to me since she is a strong Latina woman embracing her femininity in her artwork. 

What’s your favorite show?

My favorite show is hands down The Bachelor! I look forward to watching the show every Monday with my friends and trying to guess which women will make it to the very end of the show.
