I was born and raised in Colombia. It all started when a friend of mine asked me to go to an audition for a reality show called Protagonistas de Novela. I decided to audition, and I ended up winning the show. Fast forward a few years, I decided to come to the United States to see what opportunities would come up for me. I did a few castings as an Actress and Model, studied Journalism, and ended up working for one of the biggest television networks, Univision.
I first worked as a TV Host on Tu Desayuno Alegre, and then got a job as a TV Host/Weather Anchor for Despierta America for a few years, which was a huge blessing for me. My weather song caught so many people’s attention! Fast forward a few years, I went to work on El Gordo y La Flaca, was the protagonist for the Novela “En Tierras Salvajes”, and now I Co-Host my very own show called “Mas Noche”, its a Saturday night show that the people love, you’ll definitely laugh and have a good time watching it. I’ve also had the opportunity to be a brand ambassador for Rooms To Go, Fajate Colombia, and other incredible brands.
