I'm a professional coffee drinker and an avid fashion blogger. I am currently completing my second year at Algonquin College in Business Management and Entrepreneurship where I look forward to graduating and working in the fashion and art industry.

I speak three languages: Spanish, French, and English. I have travelled to over 10 countries and lived in 6 cities.

I have extended knowledge in fashion retail. I have recently worked at Boutique Jacob as the Regional Stylist for the Ottawa/Gatineau division. Creating outfits according to different body types and giving people the confidence they need to make the clothing look good is my passion. Nothing makes me happier than making people look good and feel even better. I'm driven and goal oriented. I believe in giving the very best customer service every single time.

This past summer, I partook in a business development program through Scholars At Your Service Painting. I was the marketing manager for the Barrhaven/Manotick territory. My daily tasks included interviewing candidates for summer jobs, hiring and training, setting up cold calling teams and marketing goals, posting ads online for job applicants as well as to promote our painting services. It was a great experience that helped me through hands on learning.

Art in all of its forms is my favorite hobbie. I love creating new jewelry pieces for my mom and I's jewelry line (Menta Coleccion, found on Facebook). Up-cycling is the art of recycling what you no longer use to transform it into something that will be useful. I have been inspired by Pinterest to make many mason jars DIY's, up cycling old pieces of clothings, and making my own make up and beauty products from scratch!

I did competitive dancing for 5 years, winning 3 gold medals (jazz and classical ballet), and 2 silver medals (hip hop and jazz). Drawing in class helps me concentrate and think outside the box. My friends and I love creating urban art such as murals, sculptures, and large paintings. We volunteer at House of PainT, a yearly urban art festival.

In high school, I was the fly half for the girls' rugby team. I have participated in eight 7's tournaments, over 20 regular games, and made it to regional finals in 2012. I was nominated MVP in 2010, though another deserving player won the title.
