Where are you from? The Dominican Republic.
What drew you to the fashion industry? My mother has an Arts school,
and the etiquette teacher knew a modelling agency.

my foundation in my hometown, Higuey. It’s called Proteina (Protection

schools, hospitals…

There are people who don’t respect what others think. We should tolerate
other people’s opinions as long as they’re not doing others harm.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given? My mom told me
never to do anything that can make me feel bad in order to get something.
What is your greatest love? My foundation.
