1st Public Performance: 1st Communion when I was 7 years old with my dad playing the guitar. "Gracias Senor", "Thank You, My Lord", my great-aunt's song.

Singing:

I began singing in Chorus in the 4th grade and went through until 12th grade. I also sang w/my brother in musicals. I starred in musicals from 4th until 10th grade. I then co-starred as Anita in Westside Story as a senior at Dr. Phillips with Joey Fatone (*N Sync) as Chino. That as the highlight of my high school career. Anita was all about attitude, sassiness, dancing, & singing. Her character was very close to my own personality when I perform.

Dancing:

I started ballet when I was around 5 years old at Ballet Concerto in Miami and my mother was my first teacher. On and off until I was 19 years old. I took everything from ballet to modern to Flamenco dancing. The only things I lack that I'd love to learn are Samba and Tango. I sang with my university choir while at FIU (Florida International University) and started working as a session singer in Miami. I moonlighted in a pop/rock band in Miami and directed a youth choir at my church, Mother of Christ in Miami for 3 years. I was fortunate enough to meet Lynn Harless and Nikki Deloach in Miami and 4 months later received a life altering phone call.
