MORE ABOUT ME

What can I say about myself? I am a warm-hearted, friendly and simple girl that loves the ocean. Ever since I can remember, since I was very little, I have had a passion for the ocean… somehow it captivates me in ways I can’t describe. My dad always tells me the story about a special moment when I was really tiny and he was holding me in the water looking towards the beach and I said “Papi, Papi que lindo es el mundo!” “Daddy, Daddy, how pretty is the world!”. I have never lost that feeling of love towards nature, the ocean, people and the world!

I was raised in Costa Rica, in a valley 2hrs away from the nearest beach. In my early years our family trips to the beach meant a full day of playing in the ocean. I started body boarding and later surfing, which resulted in an addiction for waves. I moved to Miami, Florida to go to collage and pursue my dreams of understanding my favorite place: the ocean, by studying Marine Biology. In Miami I discovered another watersport that would take me to levels I didn’t even imagine… kitesurfing.

With the help and influence of loved ones I was given the little push I needed to excel in the sport and give competition a try. Never having competed before in any sport I headed out to this new world for me with excitement.

I have been kitting for 5 years and competing mostly in US events for 3 years. I compete in all disciplines: freestyle, courseracing, downwind racing, waves, big air, park competitions (kickers and sliders), speed sailing, you name it!. I enjoy every aspect of the sport, be it ridding by myself, ridding with friends, competitions, traveling, teaching. My goal is to be a positive influence on the sport and its community, train hard and become as good as I can be. My passion for playing in the ocean only grows stronger with time, weather it is kiteboarding, surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding or diving.

I am currently living in Jupiter, Florida and I love it! Here I hope to fulfill my dream of kiting and riding waves every second that I can!
