Horseback riding, surfing and art

My passion since I was a child and growing up in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano has always been riding horses. I have been riding since I was five years old. Most of my experience with riding has been jumping and trail rides with friends. I was drawn to riding horses as a child because I love animals. Eventually I would like to pursue a career as a Veterinarian. I am currently a student at Saddleback College and in the process of fulfilling my General Education requirements. 


Another passion I have is surfing! Surfing is something that my whole family enjoys. Growing up and going to the beach to surf was a regular routine. I started surfing when I was six yrs old and my brother who is a competitive surfer has motivated me to become a better surfer over the years. The surfing culture is a part of who I am since my parents were raised the same way. My whole life I have traveled with my family all over California, Mexico and the Hawaiian islands "to find perfect waves."


Being Artistic is something that has been instilled in me since I was born! I am a very creative person and have an eye for design. I remember as a child always having a strong desire to want to paint, draw and create. I was always enrolled in art classes from 3 yrs old through high school. One art school that I really loved allowed me to work on projects throughout the year and when the class ended our art was showcased. Being creative has ingrained in me a passion for fashion and makeup. I look at my face and body as a blank canvas and enjoy styling myself especially before going to work. As a hostess I look forward to using my creativity when looking classy and presentable for customers. It is important to me to look elegant with professionalism once I greet each customer.
