She is originally from Costa Rica, and grew up with the Latin rhythms that have made her passionate about her Zumba class. Being multiracial has given her the motivation to celebrate multiculturalism through the Zumba workout. During her visits to this country, she learned about the beauty of Arabic music and belly dancing, which she incorporates into her workout.
