I was born in Costa Rica and we moved to America where it was a whole new world for me.

I've always been a person with patience, and I don't like to force things.

When I came into the industry I started with acting and I did drama during junior high and high school. I fell into dancing as a hobby, but whenever you need work, you try out different things. So I booked a lot of jobs for dancing and it kept rolling and rolling.

It was a big step, to go from not talking to people to stepping on to a stage. That's when I felt the most comfortable, because I could do anything I wanted to and say anything I wanted to, even if people didn't laugh.

Everyone has different talents, different styles and talents.

When I'm off the clock, I usually play video games - or do something nature-y so I can contribute to Mother Nature.

The tour life definitely puts strains on your body, not just because of the dancing but because of the fact that you are traveling into the wee hours of the day, getting up early, going to sound check - just the grueling process of it all.
