What makes your style stand out?

My style isn’t just fashion. It’s an archive of who I am, my journey, and how I move through the world. I dress based on mood, authenticity, and never performance. Every outfit is a second skin, not a showpiece. Designers like Aratta, who work within my usual budget range, help me express my boho core with sleek blazers and chic dusters when I want to turn up the volume without trying to be something I’m not.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment? To have my hair and makeup done like, and to wear a Versace dress like the one Olivia Rodrigo wore to the Met Gala 2022. That silhouette, that fit would honor my body exactly as it is, imperfections and all. I’ve always dreamed of wearing Versace, but it’s felt just out of reach. Not because I couldn’t imagine it, but because I hadn’t yet become the version of myself that I felt deserved it.

What would you do with $20,000?

I recently moved from the U.S. to Valencia Spain to be near my son, a nurse finishing medical school. As an immigrant, I cannot keep the $20,000 on my visa, so I will donate 100% to Proyecto Vivir a charity supporting vulnerable families, emotional wellbeing, & social inclusion. Valencia has welcomed me with warmth and dignity, and this gift honors the city that made me feel welcomed.
