What have you found to be the biggest challenge as an immigrant in your field?

The biggest challenge I confronted as an immigrant when I decided back in my teen years to peruse a career as a performing artist and writer, was multifaceted. For many years my family was struggling to survive and adapt to a new culture. There was certainly not enough time and money, nor a belief form my parents to ever consider supporting their children in an artistic career. To make it worst we didn’t have any kind of guidance nor connections.

What motivates you to keep pursuing your dreams?

I have great respect for all the Arts, and anyyone who pursues their passion to work as an Artist. It is extremely challenging, and yet a beautiful career if one succeeds. My love for theater, literature and film, and my burning desire to be a creative Force within that universe, is what keeps me going.

What advice would you give to others that want to pursue their passion?

Choose a career that makes you happy, and that you are good at. Do everything within your power to stay true to your dreams. Think big, connect to your higher self, and ask for what you want. As difficult as it could get, never give up! Do not allow outside influences to take you down, or make you feel that you are not good enough. Continue to learn, get help, and strive to reach perfection. Have faith, stay honest, and be patient. Because, the truth is, you are the only one who will make it happen, or Not.

What is one meaningful story that comes to mind from your time as an artist, that you would like to share with others?

When I was starting out as an Artist, I was a bit lost. Because I had no contacts, and I really didn’t know how to navigate the Performing Arts industry, I made lots of mistakes, and met the wrong people. So a big lesson that I learned and would like to share, is that one needs to be well prepared and knowledgeable, in order to succeed in this field. And of great importance, I’ve learned to follow my instincts. Your instincts will never lead you astray.

Who was your biggest influence that inspires you to pursue your dreams in this country?

One of the most influential people for me, when I was contemplating becoming an actress was Rita Moreno, I have always been in awe of her great talent. And my mother, who’s determination and strength have taught me to have endurance.
