I am a Dominican- Colombian American First Generation Musical Theatre actress intending to pursue Musical Theatre and Directing. I've been in performance since I was 9 years old. My long-term goal is to become a Broadway Director to create a better future for the industry by proving that Broadway is not an unreachable dream. I am a 2024 YoungArts Award Winner in Musical Theatre. My previous roles include; "Pennywise" in 'Urinetown', "Ben" in 'Matt & Ben', and 'Fairy Godmother/Marie - Understudy' in Cinderella. I participated in a professional internship at Arts4Learning. My motivation is to heal those that have been hurt for this reason and raise the next generation to be strong. I perform to encourage people, especially younger artists, and prove they can do anything they set their mind to. Even if you're plus sized and Hispanic. When I'm older, my goal is to have a well-rounded knowledge of the industry, in order to be a Broadway Director. While I was growing up, I always saw the same characteristics in performers. They usually fit a certain criteria when it comes to their appearance. As a chubby, small, Hispanic girl, I never saw any of their physical attributes in myself. Because of that, I didn't feel like I was enough to be on the stage. But I had such a determination to make it known that I, too, can be that person performing. Theatre should be something that everyone can feel included in, regardless of what makes them who they are; such as the color of their skin, their sexuality, their culture, and everything else that makes those people human. I've never seen someone on stage or on film that looks similar to me and I believe that there must be several people out there that must feel the same way as I do. This has been a dream of mine because I've always wanted to give those who never thought they could have an opportunity, and give them that chance to be great. I believe that it will create a world where this lifestyle would be more reachable. This will change the world for the better. I fear I need more aid to pursue my attendance at my dream school, the Berklee College of Music. My aunts and uncles had their Visas approved and are now staying with us. That results in 10 people living in our 3 bedroom house. My father is the sole provider of my family and already makes below the national average with the amount he is given as a 100% Disabled Veteran. Adding on to that, he is retiring this year which would make his income decrease even more. We no longer have enough money to buy most of our basic needs, let alone pay for college. Considering that Berklee is my dream school, I would do anything to have enough and I need additional help from scholarships outside of the institutional aid.

I want people to look at me and know that everything is possible. While I was growing up, I always saw the same characteristics in performers.

My educational experience includes the New World School of the Arts in the Musical Theatre division. I am currently headed to Boston Conservatory at Berklee for a BFA in Musical Theatre. My range for singing is a C3-F6. I have worked with the Uta Hagen and Meisner method for Acting. My dance experience includes ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and modern.
