I’m really into tall boots. I just got some new ones from Michael Kors that have these little gold studs. I have Valentino ones that I really love. Real, real tall boots!
I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I’ve known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.
I think that since it’s prom, you should definitely wear a long dress. You can wear a short one anytime! This is the moment when you get to be a princess, and for me, that means a sweetheart neckline, long, then pouf – out and big.
I know that some girls look up to me for certain things, like dyslexia, and that way I know that they like me for me, so it adds no pressure.
My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.
Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I’m part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.
I have suffered from bullying in many ways, from bullying in school due to my disability in reading, to digital abuse that I deal with on a daily basis. I’d like to tell the kids that are being bullied that no one should have to deal with the abuse, ever!
I like clean-cut, very proper, very elegant looks.
I personally don’t think you can love two things like dancing and singing the same exact amount. There is always one that you like more, and that is most likely the one that you’re better at, because you try harder in it.
I always finish off my look with a spritz of Vera Wang Pink Princess.
My dream artist to play at prom would be Frank Ocean. ‘Thinking Of You’ is one of my favorite songs. He makes really sweet music for slow dancing at prom.
I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.
I love Michael Kors! I also love Miu Miu shoes – they’re fabulous, I have so many pairs.
I really love big scarves. I have a whole bunch.
I’m always on Instagram! I’m like an Instagram stalker.
I’ve been dancing all my life, but I never did it seriously.
I like ‘As Long As You Love Me’ and ‘Boyfriend’ by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving – you just can’t help it! And ‘Teach Me How To Dougie’ gets Zendaya and I every time.
The Humane Society is so great to work with. Because everyone there is so nice and supportive, and they’re all animal lovers like me.
I’m in the studio for hours in that tiny little box, and really, the performing part is what I’m most excited about.
My dad would call me his Cuban princess because I had really dark olive skin because I was always in the sun; but I don’t really go in the sun anymore, so that is why I am so white.
