How are you related to a campesino: My maternal grandfather was part of the Bracero program during the late 40’s early 50’s
Why did you join Teatro LHDC: Acting is my life, a stress reliever because I let out my emotions. It’s a very physical and conscientious process. However, joining teatro has taught me to become fearless in stage and in real life. I used to be shy but acting has helped to get rid of that in me. I plan to continue teatro and to me performing is a great escape. I am glad I rejoined teatro because I am doing something that makes me happy and love to do. At least I can say when I get old that I have done something that I always wanted and dreamed to do and not regret it for not doing it.
Other: I am a movie buff. I have loved movies ever since I was exposed to them as a small child. My favorite movie of all time is Legends of the Fall. I love action movies, dramas, comedy movies, and musicals. I can tolerate some horror movies (the older the better). I am also obsessed with Latin American Literature. My favorite author is Federico García Lorca. Theater is another one of my delights. My favorite play is Cabaret. I've seen it three times.
