What do you like about being Latina?

What I love about being Latina, is that we have sabor. Although, I have mixed cultures because my dad is Lebanese being Latina is what makes us stand out, being Latina makes us I think a little bit more passionate about everything we love. It’s always in me and it’s what gives me an edge.

My favorite color is yellow, nice and bright, although I don’t really wear it.

My favorite brand is Zara, a Spanish brand. I’m in love with everything they sell. My mother owns a clothing store so that would be my second favorite.

What's your favorite style?

My style varies depending on my mood and the day. One thing is consistent, I love to dress to impress. I think the way we look says a lot about who we are so I like to look my best always (at least I try to!) I think my style is a combination of classic with a trendy/dramatic look.

Which actor/actress or model has the best style according to your taste?

Mmmm, this is a tough question. I tend to create my own style based on what I like, what’s trending and what accentuates my features. I don’t really have a specific someone to name. Yes, there’s a few actress and models I enjoy how they dress but they don’t really define my style.


Who was your role model growing up and how does that influence who you are today?

My role model growing up was my mom, she still is! I have learned from her sacrifices and experiences. She has taught me to be the woman I am today and I am proud of how she raised my brothers and I. She is also my go-to fashion consultant. I have learned my great taste in style from her.

What is your favorite Latino Dish?

Although, I’m not Peruvian my favorite Latino Dish is ceviche. It’s so yummy; I could eat it for days.


What is your favorite thing to do?

My most favorite thing to do is read, travel, travel, travel and do runway modeling. Did I mention I love to travel?
