STATS

I speak English, Spanish, and German. Learning French and Italian, and would like to learn Hebrew, Japanese, and Russian. I’m very good with accents as I grew up with different languages, as well as cultures. Making it easy for me to understand people from all over; as well as imitate. I have excellent hearing skills, and love manipulating and mimicking sounds. Fun fact: when I was 15, my family drove me up from to Florida to New York, so I could photograph for ELLEgirl magazine at Warped Tour. And that go-getter Fire is definitely still in me!

Actress & Model

• Since a young girl I have been developing my craft as an actress, filmmaker, photographer, and model... without knowing it! Being scouted on the streets as a toddler and teen, but it always seemed to be off with timing. Then I began taking it seriously, and pursuing my passions. Dance and music are another aspect of the arts which I am passionate about and pursuing as well. At the moment through self-study.

This led me to my new venture: holistic health coaching.
