Each week BlackSportsOnline will profile a model who is doing big things in the world of modeling and other entertainment or professional industries. At the end of the year there will be a vote for the BSO Model of the Year.
Enjoy.

I’ve been a swimsuit/lingerie model for six years. It was never a pursuit, but I refuse to not capitalize on an opportunity. So when modeling presented itself, I took it and have not looked back. Modeling has given me the opportunity to travel and work for companies from Puerto Rico to Ecuador. It has yielded me countless catalogs & websites, runways & magazines. I love this, and I plan to do it until no one wants to hire me.
However, I am aware that models have a shelf life. That is why I also have my corporate career as a financial analyst which is my main priority. Juggling both careers has not been easy, but when you truly want to succeed at something, you don’t concede when difficulty arises.
I’m also very dedicated to empowerment of women, and that is why I started my blog. I’ve lived a blessed life because I have demanded nothing less from myself. And I would like my sisters to do the same for themselves in dating, in careers, in life.
I am a biracial female, born in the paradise of Puerto Rico. I know my story isn’t unique, but my legacy is mine to write. And I will ensure that it is the greatest biography ever written.
