What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
Since childhood my interests have always been very clear, but they are growing with my different experiences. I enjoy more the humanitarian side of working with people - working with truth and justice, collaborating, giving comfort and helping with social development, giving and receiving. These things make me feel like a winner. Whatever I'm doing, I want to provide happiness in some way to everyone around me. For example, acting is my passion. When I'm on stage, I pause my life to adopt the life of the character. The same thing happens when I reach out to other people.

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My brother Jose David. In addition to knowing his essence, I know all that he fought in life. In spite of having to begin early in life, he was never afraid, he never said, "I can't" and he never demonstrated insecurity. Now at 23 years old, he has obtained his goals and has very much influenced my life. He has been my father figure since the separation of our parents and I respect and love him. He made me the person I am and taught me to find a refuge in God when I feel insecure.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I'm studying petroleum engineering and every day of study is a day with discipline and education for my future. I try to investigate petroleum on a global scale and I'm also going to observe different enterprises in my country to see the real work done there. Additionally, I went to a camp to learn about the actual/true jobs. I've also been performing since I was seven years old; I've never stopped. I've taken many classes and performed in comedies.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I grew up in a neighborhood in Santa Cruz City where my father kept our home full of memories. I grew up with my cousins. I remember the days we went out to play in the streets because the neighborhood was a calm family environment; all my aunts were our neighbors. For all that, I'm a person very close to my family. I really appreciate all this, though. I had a childhood full of happiness, but with rules and learning.

What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
The peace of God surpasses everyone's understanding. It guards my heart and my thoughts. He is my force and He has permitted me to reach all my goals until today.
