What do you like about being Latina?
The question is a little abstract perhaps ... It is difficult to give an answer to a question that alludes to your natural condition. I am just me, and I love being the way I am, my indigenous roots, my skin color, the contrast of my face, my sensuality. I think that's how we all Latinas are, we have a special flavor.
What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?
I especially love the plain colors and I greatly enjoy the power of classic tones, especially white and black.
As for my wardrobe, uff ... it's full of pants, from jeans to skirts, my next priority is shoes, I love them, I just love them, but if there's one thing I really enjoy is my lingerie, and the power that has to enhance the sexy and the beautiful thing about being a woman.
What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?
I have many (laughs) but buying designer clothes here is very difficult, unless you have a lot, lots of money. If I tell you about my favorites, how could I not mention our Carolina Herrera fashion emblem. I also love the work that Carol Ginter is doing, I love her designs, they are a perfect description of the strong, bold, flirtatious, Caribbean woman and Venezuelan.
Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?
I love the style of Gaby Espino, another great representative of ours. I also love the styles of Gal Gadot and Emily Ratajkowski.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?
In charge of my own business or perhaps with my own brand, I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I am an industrial engineer and work as a project manager and web analyst in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), I love what I do, and why I could not make this my own long-term business.
