What is your advice to someone who is getting started ? 

  Continue to grow and improve yourself, all while keeping love and kindness is your heart.

Describe some obstacles you have overcome… how did it shape you ?

  My life has been full of obstacles but one that really taught me a good lesson is my chronic illness. When I was three, living in Puerto Rico, I was getting very sick, I saw many doctors and they could not understand what was wrong with me. Eventually my health started to decline and my family was told to leave the island and get better care in another state, so we moved to Florida to be seen by one of the best doctors in the USA. After many years of surgeries and hospital stays, I was diagnosed with a rare genetics disorder called ‘Ehlers Danlos Syndrome’ .. this changed my life forever, with no treatment and a guaranteed painful life, I fell into depression and lost hope. After a few years of almost losing, I was saved by Gods grace and he gave me the family I wished for, even after being told I would never live a normal life, I am living proof of a “normal chronically Ill” person!

What makes you beautiful?

  Kindness, this makes us all glow. 

What would you say to someone who is struggling in being confident?

  It’s okay to feel this way, remember, confident takes time to build. Start by focusing on your strengths, setting small believable goals and celebrating your successes.
