Welcome to the life of one crazy Mexicana who decided to be in artist and who is trying to make some sort of living in this crazy town of San Anto, Tejas. Everyday surprises me and I am a student of what I call my existence and would give anything for an extra hour of sleep a day. If Latin heat exists, I think I would definitely be the carrier of the flame. I love my browness and will forvever be proud to call myself Mexicana, even though I wasnt given the skills of the language. I am currently working for a theater company called Jump-Start Performance Co. which I highly enjoy eating all three of my square meals at, when I get really busy and working for the most fabulously brilliant gay men in the business. I teach the new and bright minds of the future and heal the ones who feel they have no one to lean on. The art of performance has been in me for many years and I hope this brain of mine will make more obscene, interesting and lasting work in the years to come.If I had the chance I would love to be work in fashion, because I love haute couture! but my budget and being a struggling artist has me coming up with creative ways to put something together out of nothing. It gives me so many ideas watching the brilliance of another mind when it comes to clothes. I have a mother and one older sister, so I guess you can say I'm the baby. I have come to be a part of all my close friends familia and eventually one day, I will have my own familia. At 30, I feel like I am just beginning what I really want to do. Write. perform, travel, instead of being here in Tejas. I would love to live in another city and everyone keeps reminding me of this. I think I've been very lucky that I am doing what I wanted to do, which is perform. I still hope I surprise myself and never become too bored or distracted or lose sight of what is important. Always take chances because hey ya never know what to expect when night turns to day.I will always try to do the best work I've ever done in my life, someetimes is almost kills me, sometimes it'll wear me out or drive me almost insane, but I wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world.
