Her father moved to DC from Puerto Rico at the age of 19 with no money, and eventually became a successful business owner. He has certainly inspired that same entrepreneurial spirit in her. she also feel a great responsibility to the younger generation of Latinas. She is glad to be part of the growing population of Latina entrepreneurs and she think it’s important that the youth see themselves succeeding greatly and achieving grand goals, not just behind the scenes, but also front and center. Whenever opportunities arise for her, however scary they may seem, she take them, knowing that she may inspire a young Latina to pursue her dreams as well.

Her interest in makeup came about six years ago when she was at a cousin’s wedding. she saw that she had a makeup artist do her wedding makeup and she looked so glamorous and beautiful. It was the first time that she took interest in makeup artistry as a career choice. she then began to learn everything she could about makeup application, and started blogging as a way to practice and share her craft.
