What are some childhood influences that made you into who you are today?
My older sister. She was always the most creative girl in my eyes. And still is. Shes like a Latina Martha Stewart. I remember thinking she was a genius for bleaching peace signs into her back pockets.

How does sport influence your sense of culture?
Sports has been existing in our society since time immemorial. I think sport will always have a positive effect in our society. Sport has the ability to connect team members, fans, and also different cultural back rounds.

What is your favorite sport? Team? Player? Why and how do they inspire you?
Basketball. Lakers. Again, I think the way players or a team can bring communities together is inspiring.

What makes LA your home?
I think I know LA is my home, because no matter where I am, no matter how beautiful the place I visit, I always miss it. The weather, the burritos, the hot dogs wrapped in bacon, Hollywood!

How does LA nurture your passion?
I am a wardrobe stylist. So for me, there is no better place to be to make all my career goals happen. I live in the entertainment capitol of the world!
