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.
