As a visual artist, I work in drawing and painting, bringing a strong sense of creativity and storytelling to everything I do.

I was born in Lima, Peru and raised in a Catholic family that valued discipline, creativity, and community. From a young age, I was drawn to acting, soccer, and art — performing on stage, playing in local leagues, and developing a natural talent for drawing.
In my twenties, I moved to the United States to study dramatic arts, which opened the door to my work in film, television, and theater. At the same time, my soccer skills led me to play for different clubs in New York, building connections in the city’s competitive soccer community.
To support myself in this new chapter, I entered the hospitality industry, where I learned the craft of bartending and developed a strong foundation in customer service. Over the years, these experiences shaped me into a versatile professional with a passion for creativity, performance, and leadership.
Today, I’m an entrepreneur with multiple ventures: director and coach of NYC International Futbol, owner of Mane Elite Bartending (MEB), and creator of an online art store. My acting career continues alongside these projects, allowing me to express every part of who I am — artist, performer, coach, and business owner.

My influences come from a blend of performance, sports, art. As an actor, I’m inspired by performers who bring honesty, discipline, and emotional truth to their work — artists who transform real life into storytelling. As a soccer coach, I’m influenced by leaders who teach through passion, structure, and motivation. As an artist, I draw inspiration from visual creators who express movement, culture, and identity. And in bartending, I’m influenced by professionals who treat hospitality as an art form, combining technique, creativity, and service.
My work is shaped by the experiences and communities I’ve been part of: theater groups in Lima, film and acting programs in New York, competitive soccer clubs across the city, and the hospitality teams where I learned the craft of bartending. These environments taught me discipline, teamwork, creativity, and professionalism — qualities that now define everything I do, whether I’m performing, coaching, creating art, or running Mane Elite Bartending (MEB).
