20 years ago Oriana was born and raised in Toronto. Daughter to a Colombian Father and a Chilean mother, she speaks Spanish and English fluently and would like to improve on her Italian, Portuguese and French. Oriana considers herself a very spontaneous, intelligent and artistic individual who enjoys dancing and learning about her parents heritage and joined a Chilean Cultural Folk Dance Group (Grupo Folklorico Chile) at the age of eight in order to stay deeply rooted to her culture. 

As the only female among her siblings (she has two older brothers), Oriana has received training in Martial Arts since she was 5 years old. Oriana prides herself from enjoying life to the maximum and could always hear her laugh from a mile away. Her smile is one of the qualities that best represents her because it is genuine and reflects her true self. She strongly believes in volunteering and being part of activities that benefit those around her while meeting new people. ‘I believe that true beauty is the reflection of your soul and comes from within. It is important to reflect that, by staying true to yourself’ adds Oriana.

On her space time, Oriana enjoys traveling and learning about different cultures while sharing her own and growing as a person and she also loves listening and dancing to Latin music along with the classics.

Oriana would like to thank her mother and father for being her pillars of faith and support. No matter what goals she set for herself, they are always her support system by backing her up 100%. She would also like to thank her friends for always pushing her to be the best that she can be.
