Yesterday afternoon I spent an hour on the phone doing an interview with Latinitas Magazine. I’ve done interviews before, for example the UTSA article, but never for a magazine. With that said, of course I was excited to be asked! I’ll be sure to share the link to my article for all of you to [...]

It’s official my reign as Miss Latina World has been extended! I will no longer give up my title on June 14, 2009. The new date is October 25, 2009. I am honored and blessed to have this happen to me, and look forward in serving my community and the charities I work closely with, MUCH [...]

The Salvation Army has provided service to the San Antonio Community for 120 years. Since 1889, their mission has been to help those in need. Today they oversee 24 various programs that help families get back on their feet. I was blessed to help celebrate this wonderful milestone by assisting with the Change For Change [...]

Melissa Schwartz is one of my favorite photographers of all time, hands down. She’s easy to work with, gifted with a camera and if I was wealthy enough to have her photograph me at every event I would. When I flew to Los Angeles my last trip, I booked a shoot with her and asked [...]

The Race For The Cure event was another memorable event for me. Until RFTC, I’d never seen so many thousands of people coming together for one event. When I arrived at 7 am, I thought I would be early and beat the crowd, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. By 10am there were people [...]

Visiting Driggers Elementary was by far one of my favorite events as Miss Latina World. I went during FIESTA and was able to see the students shoe box floats. Then I literally walked in every classroom from Kindergarden to 5th grade and did a small speech. My main points were the importance of staying in [...]

On May 9th, 2009, I attended the 5th Annual Jon’s Run Event hosted by Any Baby Can. The event was at Brackenridge Park in San Antonio, TX and had both an adult and childrens run. Jon’s Run is an event that helps raise money for the research and cure of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). [...]
