34 || MOST FITNESS || APRIL 2016MFM: What was your initial spark that got you interested in acting? Was it something that occurred during your childhood or something that happened later on in life?VO: The initial %u201cspark%u201d was definitely during my childhood. I took multiple dance classes as a little girl. My brother Hector was the one who influenced me to do more of the acting/hosting. He played around with my parent%u2019s video camera growing up and being it was just the two of us, I always volunteered to be in front of the camera. We had so much fun.MFM: In addition to acting, you also have an immense passion for dance, what first started this passion?VO: I%u2019m not sure what exactly started my passion for dance, but maybe I can attribute some of that to my roots and my grandma, Mama Meche, who always said she had a love for dance too growing up.MFM: Being a Latina woman has clearly had an impact on your life, what part does your cultural background play in the works that you take on?VO: Being Latina only plays a role in the work I take on if it%u2019s necessary. If the project requires it, I%u2019m more than happy to embrace my cultural background to bring a character to life.MFM: Dancing, modeling, and acting are just a few of the titles in your repertoire. Is there one that you lean towards the most or is there a balance between all your works?VO: I love it all. I definitely find balance and I have been so lucky to dive into several different opportunities at the same time. I spend most of my work time acting and hosting.
