- Actress
Isn't she lovely? This public figure not only knows the value of
appearance but can also see where true worthiness and integrity
develops. Coming from the Sparkling City by the Sea otherwise known as
Corpus Christi, TX and making her new home in Austin, TX the place
where her dreams became a reality. Now these dreams didn't come to life
overnight, she has been working hard every step of the way. As a little
girl, playing with dolls and lipstick just wasn't enough. In her
elementary years of school, Diamantina had already traveled from
Tennessee to Oklahoma to Louisiana on summer events including
competition in theater and singing. Didn't take long for her love of
entertainment to keep blossoming, as a high school student her
eagerness for success ranged from sports to politics to community
service. She has held positions in student council elections graduating
from secretary to class president. But you can't keep this beauty tied
up in the office; her athletics was shined from cross-country captain
to member of the wrestling team to cheer captain. Having a clear vision
of obtaining all future goals her plans for success began immediately.
Jumping with both feet first she dived right in programs such as the
Young Women of Excellence, Community in Schools and a nationwide
program known as PALS. In the meantime of all this, recommended by her
college counselor Diamantina was chosen as 1 out of 2 representatives
from to Texas to participate in the Health Rocks program based in
Mississippi. As a high school student she graduated in the top 5% of
her class, received the Trustees Award all four years and was one of
the few students in years who successfully graduated under the
distinguished program. With these accomplishments under her belt she
sought out and received the Youth of the Year for the Boys and Girls
Club Scholarship, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the Berkman &
Lament scholarship which has served greatly in her education as a
senior at The University of Texas at Austin majoring in Communications
Human Relations. With these prestigious scholarships her attendance is
greatly desired in the community service, luncheons and galas she has
participated in as the guest speaker. During her college semesters her
time is tied up with even yet another community service program which
has embraced her into her culture with the Con Mi Madre program that is
based at UT and she also steadily worked right outside of Austin at a
car dealership receiving awards for upper level certifications and
store champion. Traveling right outside our lovely home of the U.S. and
being immersed in the culture of Costa Rica on a study abroad ceramics
class has allowed her to grow and see the world as its true beauty that
cannot be captured only in pictures! With that being said, you keep
your eyes wide open for her next chapter in life you definitely don't
want to miss out!
