She kept the temperature rising starring as both Maria and Virgen Caridad in the hit musical, "Miami Libre," a production of Miami's crown jewel theater, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. Her glorious image swaying to the rhythm of the Grammy nominated Tiempo Libre band was celebrated on billboards and buses all over the city.She is presently performing in the improv comedy, "Tony and Tina's Wedding," creating riotous chaos in the Miami production of the longest running off-Broadway comedy in history, directed by the show's co-creator Larry Pelligrini.
