Summary

I am a Latina artist born and raised in San Antonio using my talents to entertain the community in multiple forms such as singing, dancing, and painting. I have experience as a Mariachi singer, an acrylic painter, and I am currently a full time professional dancer. I have been dancing for over 18 years of my life and specialize in flamenco and folklorico.

Besides my specialties, I have a history of training in jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and a variety of Latin styles. I have performed on stages of all kinds and have had opportunities to travel out of my city to present my artistry to different communities.
