Bio

I am a Mexican born actress, artist, poet, and model. After a prominent career in the San Francisco market as a commercial print and runway model, I made the transition to film and television. I have served as on-air host and recurring personality for Cruzin TV and was featured in nationally syndicated television and radio shows American Latino TV and KSFM 102.5. I have also appeared in several other television, radio shows, and independent films.

Since I was a little girl I dreamt of being a model. I thought that being on the cover of a magazine or on television were the greatest accomplishments. However, May 4, 2010, changed my perspective and my life. I was five minutes away from the shooting site of my first national commercial when I was involved in a devastating car accident.

I remember how nervous I was the first time I had to go in public in a wheelchair. I feared what others would think of me. I could no longer rely on my long legs and short skirts. For the first time in my life, I searched within for my power. In that moment I realized that it does not matter what we look like if we do not allow joy and beauty to radiate from within. Our true power lies in our hearts, our eyes, and above all, our smiles. I now realize that inner fulfillment is gained through the attainment of a worthy purpose, not through popularity and fame.

The lessons I learned from this struggle are numerous and have driven me to write a blog that I hope will inspire and help my readers understand life and themselves a little bit better.

I want to help you understand that:

We are not our bodies. Our bodies are the vehicles through which we express being. The body can be beautiful but it alone cannot radiate true beauty, true beauty comes from our soul.

That life and our personal experience of it is a state of mind that we choose with every thought, word, and deed.

That God, Alah, Christ, Krishna, Buddah, Energy, Source, and the many other names we use to describe the Creative Energy Within are symbols we have chosen to describe the purely conscious and powerful energy that makes up our being and all that is.

That loving and appreciating life is the key to happiness.

That time is a man made system of measuring and organizing activity and when activity ceases, so does time.

I encourage you to read my blog “Get Inspired” for ongoing exploration of mind, body, soul, relationships, business, and industry advise.
