I was born in Peru. I studied Business Administration and worked as a Personal Banking Executive  for several banks  from 1982 to 1999.

​

I began my Flamenco dance studies at age 22, and decided to became a full time Flamenco dancer at the age of 30. In 1992 I traveled to Spain to participate in intensive workshops at Centro Andaluz del Flamenco "CAF". In 1996 I started my own Flamenco Dance school until 2007.

​

In the early 2000's I started performing Belly Dance, and also incorporated these classes as a part of my dance school. I participated in Belly Dance workshops between 2003 and 2004 in Argentina.

​

From 2004 to 2007 I produced Flamenco Dance Festivals in cooperation with the Cultural Center of Catholic University of Peru and as a Belly Dance Teacher for the Club Union Arabe Palestino.

​

During my career as a Flamenco and Belly Dance artist, I was exposed to diverse dance disciplines, and several types of music like Afro-Peruvian, Jazz, Criollo, Spanish Classical, and Contemporary dance.

 

Because of my versatile interpretation of music, several Theater and Contemporary companies called me to work with them. I was also called and worked with the National Symphony Orchestra.

​

In June  2007 I moved to Virginia. I continued performing and taking intensive flamenco workshops with renowned flamenco artists who came from Spain to performed in U.S.. I increased my dancing skills by traveling to Spain in 2010 for an intensive workshop at the reputable Amor de Dios Flamenco dance School.

​

I performed in shows in Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland and New York from 2007 to 2015. I also volunteered on a regular basis at the John F. Kennedy for the Performing Arts from 2009 to 2014.

​

In 2014 I was selected as an intern to conduct research and Spanish translation at the National Defense University (NDU) for the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) Department - Latin American Region. In 2015, I was hired as a Hostess - Receptionist for The Jefferson Boutique Hotel in D.C.

​

Due to unexpected family medical challenges in 2015, I took a four-year sabbatical from my career to take care of my family. I made many decisions and choices during this time. One of them was to move to Florida in 2017.

​

In Florida, I certified as a Group Fitness Instructor from the  Athletics and Fitness Association of America. These studies increased my professional growth with a better health and wellness perspective thus adding to my experience as an artist and dance instructor for a holistic approach.

​

Looking for new opportunities at my new place of residence; I had the chance to worked as a Hostess-Concierge Level for Tampa Marriott International Hotel in 2019. Due COVID19, I was put in Layoff on March 2020. The company call me back to work in November for the opening of the new brand hotel JW Marriott Tampa Water Street.
