I am a classically trained pop/R&B and Latin vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a double bachelor’s degree in music education and vocal performance from Berklee College of Music. I am also a published children’s author. My goal is to make a difference through doing what I love and showing the world that blind people are as capable as everyone else. I hope to inspire future generations to pursue their dreams and be successful in the same way that I have, because I know that anything is possible, and giving up is never an option. As an artivist and music educator, I will be able to make a difference by using my reach as a Puerto Rican Spanish speaker to crush stereotypes by sharing my experiences across cultures and doing what has not been done while advocating for all of the communities I represent. I aim to be the first blind Latina artist at the forefront of the Latin music industry. I am confident that I can lead, I can achieve, and Ican be the one who alters the way people see.
