“Pray as though everything depended on God.
Work as though everything depended on you.”
I am a Taekwondo Olympian and have represented the beautiful country of Puerto Rico at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. I have been on the Puerto Rican Taekwondo National team from 2011 to current and compete at the weight category of -49 kilograms.
I might be small, but my heart and mind make up for my size. I have been competing in the sport of Taekwondo for 22 years. This is my passion and life.
I am also a stunt actress represented by Pastorini Bosby Talent Agency in Texas. Here you can find my Stunt Reel and Resume.
I have a total of 17 scars on my knees. I’ve had a total of 6 knee surgeries. ACL reconstruction in 2010, meniscus and ACL reconstruction in 2012, two reconstruction ACL surgeries in 2013, a 15% meniscectomy of the meniscus in 2018 and a major meniscectomy of the meniscus in 2019. After my 6th knee surgery in 2019 I thought it to be impossible to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after hearing the shocking news that I had about 20% of my meniscus left over from surgery. However, through my faith in Christ I felt I had to continue and finish my race on to becoming an Olympian.
Despite all those who doubted me and advised to give it up, after a hard rehab process, I returned to sport. After falling short for the Rio 2016 Olympics, I preserved through all my setbacks and qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on March 12, 2020, 6 months after my 6th knee surgery that was almost impossible to come back from.
I currently run, manage, and own my own Taekwondo and Parkour business in The Woodlands, TX, Believe Commit Achieve.
