Latin food is my guiltiest pleasure and my demise. My trainer hates when I go home to visit my mom and her cooking.

I love to mix things up and create new dishes in the kitchen. I love cooking shrimp scampi and having a glass of Pinot Grigio while listening to music.

I would love to meet Martin Luther King. His fearless attitude, leadership, and self-awareness changed our world.

When I look in the mirror I see my parents' sacrifices being honored. I see the love from which I was created and the power of the human spirit.

Heartbreak is essential. We grow, evolve, and learn about the most beautiful thing ever: Love! My first heartbreak taught me that love is supposed to ADD beauty and happiness to my already love-filled life!

I would like to be remembered as someone who gave it all and went for it all, As a woman of strong conviction, character, dignity, and talent who always put God first.

Always be who YOU are, be self-aware, and love yourself tremendously!
