Growing up, I wasnt sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.

The person that inspires me and has inspired me my whole life is my grandmother. She's strong, head of the household, the person everyone turns to, the one that can solve problems. She's just so warm and caring, loving, but at the same time very strong and can do anything, in my eyes. A great role model and someone that I aspire to be like in life.

As I got older, I would study privately with some coaches. Then I found Lee Strasberg, which I loved.

I really am happy that I met my agency and my management company, because they see me as a person and not just a Latin woman.

I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. I love chocolate, I love sugar, all that stuff. But I've learned to kind of not eat it but just treat myself every now and then with something. Because if you avoid it completely, then I personally go crazy.

Ive always loved movies since I was a kid. I loved how they could make me happy, sad, or just show me different parts of the world and people. So when I was about six, I decided that that was what I wanted to do: make movies.

Ive been taking martial arts for a long time. I started with tae kwon do, and then I started taking karate and mixed martial arts.
