Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not been smooth, yet every obstacle shaped the woman I am today.I’ve faced loss, reinvention and moments of starting from zero in new places. Yet every challenge became fue, teaching me resilience, faith and the courage to keep building my dreams. Those struggles shaped the woman, the brands and the message I now share.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a latina ( adult figure skater) who grew up up in Honduras , where there were no ice rinks, yet I found a way to create my own path on the ice. Today I compete in this sport and I combine that same resilience and creativity through fashion and storytelling. I’m the founder of Winterina and author of Perriuska . Speaking four languages has allowed me to share my vision globally and I have turn my obstacles into art and inspiring other women to don the same.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
what often surprise people is that I became a figure skater even though I was born and raised in Honduras, a country with no ice rinks. Against all odds, I turned my childhood dream into reality and from that dream I also created Winterina. My Brand was born while I was in NYC training hard to become a figuren skating. I was in the perfect city for fashion & figure skating.
