Thank you Marcela Vega, Jonathan Barrera, and Erick Sanchez.

I grew up in Venezuela and had the opportunity to attend Brown University, two experiences I believe helped shape me into the open minded and curious person I am today. I dove into the world of entrepreneurship in 2017 when I founded S64, a clothing brand made specifically to empower and celebrate petite women (5’4” or under). In addition to being passionate about growing my business, I’m a human rights activist, I lead an active lifestyle, and always make time to nurture my relationships with family and friends. If you are Petite and into fashion you are going to love this! You can follow @s64petite on Instagram/Pinterest or check s64petite.com
