Throughout my journey, I have embraced every part of my past experiences, ultimately leading me to this point. I began my path as an Art, Entertainment, and Media Management major with a passion for the music business while simultaneously being part of a highly acclaimed, professional hip hop dance company. Life took a financial turn, and I temporarily paused my education to welcome the arrival of my daughter. In that process, I stepped away from dance, school, and my job. Fast forward to today, where I proudly stand as a mom of 2, a bachelor's degree holder, and a fearless pursuer of my passions.

Choosing a new major was a challenge for me, as I had dedicated a significant portion of my life to the entertainment industry. However, I found my footing in Fashion Marketing and Management, leveraging my 20 years of experience in retail fashion to explore how it intersected with my love for the arts. Little did I know that this journey would lead me here, crafting this "about me" page and unearthing a new concept that beautifully combines the impactful elements of my life.

Born in the United States to immigrant parents, I, like many Latinx millennials, have embarked on a journey to find our place within the fabric of American culture while honoring the legacies of our heritage. Despite being the largest ethnic and racial minority in the nation, many of us still feel isolated from the majority. It is my belief that representation matters, and I am committed to shining a spotlight on our community's trailblazers who challenge stereotypes in the media and make significant strides in their respective fields.

In terms of education, here are the institutions I have attended:

• William Rainey Harper College – Associates in Fine Art

• Columbia College Chicago

• Empire Beauty School – Licensed in the state of Illinois

• Illinois Institute of Art-Schaumburg – Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Marketing and Management
