Since I was 16 years old, I knew that I wanted to be a great photographer. While I was in high school I started to work hard to achieve my goal and I was able to participate in a national photography competition TV show, work with multiple models and fashion designers and photograph runways for Fashion Week Panama for three years.

Due to my efforts, I was able to receive a scholarship to study photography at Fanshawe College. In October 2019 I came alone to Canada to begin my studies and follow my dreams. I became a teaching assistant in the second year of my program and it was an incredible experience. Then at the end of the second year (April 2022) in the annual image competition, I won first place in the portrait category. I graduated in June 2022 and I feel that my journey as a photographer has just started!
