BELLA: Where are you from originally? Lorena: I am originally from a beautiful city called Cali in Columbia
BELLA: Were you more physical or intellectual growing up? Lorena: Outdoor recreation is enjoyable for me. Performing physical exercise while outdoors provides a way to get outside and enjoy your natural surroundings. Aside from breathing fresh air which I love! I really enjoy being outside and the benefits are endless. I believed that is physically and mentally healthy. I was never the intellectual type of person.
BELLA: What do you do for fun? Lorena: I love spending time with my family. Spending time with the people I love gives me peace and energy to begin my week. I go to church on Sundays and help with charity events on the weekends.... and of course shopping with BFF once an a while :)
BELLA: What do you do to stay in shape? Lorena: I drink lots of water, go to my spinning classes twice a week and eat a lot of fruits.
BELLA: What was your first job? Lorena: I helped my father on his business back in Columbia at a very young age. You wont be able to find a better boss that your own father!
BELLA: What's your best feature? Lorena: I believe my best feature are my legs and I inherit it from my mother.
BELLA: What's your favorite sport? Lorena: My favorite sport is Tennis. You get to work every muscle of your body, increases your metabolism and relaxes the mind.
BELLA: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you? Lorena: People usually get very surprise when I start talking about my business. The entrepreneur part on me interested people and they listen very closely what do I have to say.
BELLA : How do you get yourself energized before a shoot? Lorena: The first thing is a good breakfast! I always keep mi mind positive. The most important thing is to show confidence and always focus on giving the best end result. Every photograph is a story and is my job to reach that goal.
BELLA: What makes you different from most models? Lorena: Being on time! Believe it or not that is one of the biggest problems that clients have with models. Is hard to find a model that is committed to a certain job. Is a matter of loving what you do. I am a hard worker and will always show up for a job. It is my responsibility and my commitment. Those are 2 things you need to have present at all times when you are a model.
BELLA: Where do you see yourself in five years? Lorena: I see myself in 5 years running and enjoying my Hair extension business Micro-Link Hair Systems, sharing my life with an amazing person and hopefully with at least 2 beautiful children.
BELLA: What is you favorite part of modeling so far? Lorena: The opportunity to meet amazing individuals. To know that so many people come into my life and remain until this day for a good reason. I have been very lucky to work with professional people in the industry that every day enhance my life.
