+ What got you into modeling?
My mom put me in modeling & etiquette classes in Puerto Rico to boost up my self esteem and confidence. My aunt took some photos of me and then a professional photographer saw them and helped me build my portfolio. After that things just kinda snowballed and I just ran with it :).

+ How long have you been modeling?
I have been modeling since 2003! :)

+ What are your goals in life? Ambitions? I have a lot of goals. I want to be successful not for the money but to use my name to help start an organization to help young girls with disabilities and to spread awareness of Transverse Myelitis (an illness I have). I also hope to one day be on the cover of Import Tuner posing next to my own car. *sigh* One day haha.

+ What is the number one thing you love about your fans?
I love how loyal they are! Some of them have been with me since before I even became a model, back when I was on MiGente.com or Yahoo! with my wannabe amateur model photos haha! It's pretty cool. They tell me when someone has a fake profile with my photos on it, they come to my events, they call my SayNow fan line, they're just so awesome. I appreciate them with all of my heart.

+ What are three things you can not live without?
My Scion, my wiener dog, and my cell phone.

+ Where’s one place you’d like to go, but haven’t yet?
Hmm....I want to go to Australia and hug a wallaby. I also want to go to Costa Rica and hug a baby sloth. LOL. I'm random. I guess that's two places instead of one. Sorry!

 

+ Where’s the worst place you have ever been?
I don't think I have a worst place yet. I've enjoyed almost all the places I've been to so far. :)

+ What is your dream car?
My 2006 Scion xA is my dream car. It's the first new car I've ever bought. I've always wanted it ever since I first seen it in a parking lot lol. When I went paralyzed with Transverse Myelitis I thought I'd never get to drive again let alone get that Scion. I worked really hard in occupational therapy to get my hands to a point where I can turn the key in a car just so I can buy it, and it paid off! So my Scion is for sure definitely my dream car :).

+ Any hobbies?
I make graphics, gogo dance on the weekend, play football, show my car at car shows, make videos, stuff like that. I love to be creative.


+ Favorite foods?
I LOVE Taco Bell, Chinese/Japanese food, fried food, fast food, carnival food, and Puerto Rican food (of course). Yum!

+ What type of guy are you attracted to?
I love a guy who's strong, has tattoos, has muscled up/toned arms, funny, great smile, has his own goals and hobbies, is into cars like me, and likes to travel. :)

+ What do you like to do for fun?
I love to travel, play football with my team, gogo dance, drive around in my car, play with my wiener dog, Lilo, and just hang out. I'm kind of a square. I really like mini golf lol. I like to do whatever as long as it's fun.

+ What is your favorite feature?
Hmm...I personally don't think I have a favorite, but if you asked someone else they might say my freckles or my butt lol..

+ Got anything you wanna say to the MENACE world?
Thank you guys for interviewing me! I love you guys, you're awesome, you're cars are super sexy, and all of you are super cool people! I'm very grateful to have met all of you and hope we all get to work together again soon! :D *hugs everyone*


+ Thanks for your time!
