Born and raised in the stunning paradise of San Juan, PR, I’m on a mission to showcase everything my magical island has to offer. From curating chic vibes at The Fashion Lounge ,to creating dreamy escapes at Hacienda Victoria, and reviving the iconic Don Charlie Building, I thrive on blending creative design, fashion, and hospitality.

As the owner of three boutique stores, fashion is at the heart of everything I do. I’m also deeply involved in the world of show poodles, with my dogs competing in both Puerto Rico and the USA. Beyond fashion, I have a keen eye for unique spaces and love bringing places to life—whether through design, investment, or creating unforgettable experiences. When I’m not scouting the hottest fashion lines or experimenting with beauty and wellness trends, you’ll find me traveling, discovering the latest restaurants, and immersing myself in new cultural experiences. I believe every place, meal, and moment has a story to tell, and I love sharing those discoveries along the way.
