Favorite Quote: “If you want true change, walk differently”
Favorite Role or Ballet & Why: Nikiya “Le bayadere” “Giselle” and Juliet “Romeo and Juliet” These three ballets represent a dream for me, the romanticism and drama of these stories combined with their technical level seem incredible to me.
Accomplishment you are most proud of: That despite having emigrated from my country I was able to continue exercising my passion as a professional.
Fun Fact about yourself: When I was a child I wanted to study “Petroleum Engineering” but here I am, living my life as a dancer!
