    I started dancing when I was 4 years old, but it was until I turned 13 when I realized, I wanted to become a professional dancer. However, due to a medical condition, I was pushed to look into another direction. 

    My next epiphany moment happened while studying at The University of Aruba (26 years old)  when I remembered I used to play: “the producer/ director” organizing Miss Venezuela and talent shows for my family to enjoy. I realized then, that I wanted to combine art, entrepreneurship, and marketing for my profession.

    Your friends in Venezuela will be professionals by the time you finish MAVO, for you, it will take a bit longer, but you will be ok! Use this time to your advantage, discover your strengths, your virtues, work on weaknesses and prepare yourself to become what you used to play when you were a little girl.
