actress | model | dancer I advocate
Since I was a child I had an interest in dance, modeling and acting. I did ballet since I was 10 years old. I participated in beauty pageants in my hometown since I was 14 years old. I never won any of them but I got some achievements in modeling in my hometown. I was in catalog and a banner. I went to study accounting as my parents suggested me to get a degree so they know I can take care of myself and then I can do whatever I want.
I got my bachelor in accounting and when I was 20 years old I came to America to peruse my dreams. I came to America as a student and I applied to study accounting and then I saw that they have a theater major. Something clicked in my heart and I reapplied for Theater Arts. I called my parents and I told them I know I am taking the risk but I want to be happy and do not to have regrets in my life. I had a strong belief at that time that I can make in modeling and acting and I still have my believe and I am making. My height is 5’4”. Most of the castings I don’t fit in because of my height. As I am foreign I have an accent. There are limited roles for those who have an accent. But none of these disadvantages as most people can see never stopped me from pursuing my dreams.
There is a strong feeling I can’t resist that moves me to do a next step and next and continue my path. Those challenges shaped me for who I am now. I see this as a rock that was shaped into the diamond, the more challenges you have that shape you, the more you shine. I always wanted to do everything on my own because I believed taking the most challenging and difficult way creates the best possible way. One of my dreams since I was a kid is to make a world a better place.
I always wanted to do everything on my own because I believed taking the most challenging and difficult way creates the best possible way. One of my dreams since I was a kid is to make a world a better place. I always felt in my heart that I want and can make this world a better place. I believe in power of love. I see everything in positive way and feel it’s my superpower. Don’t forget there is another side which is powerful too and you decide what you want to create with your life. If you fulfill yourself with love and positive mindset, you get the same outcome and vice versa.
