Acting isn't a side thing - you have to live and breathe it.

I think everything about my life is magical. I've struggled, and against most odds, I'm truly having the experience of living my dreams.

I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.

I love pointy nails! A cute way to add a pop of color to your nails is to make a V-shape at the ends of them in a pastel color.

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don't speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I'm proud to be Latina, and most people don't know I am.

I'm not a boy band kind of girl. I like hip-hop, I like R&B.

To me, being Latin is about more than your looks - it's how you're brought up.
