Tatiana Torres is a creative tool in the shed for increasing Nonahood News’ and Nona.Media’s connection with the Latino community in Lake Nona and beyond. She’s new to the team but already proving to be an incredible asset as she was an integral part of launching our sister online publication, Nonahood Latino. Check out our conversation with her below.
NHN: What brought you to the Nonahood?
TT: I was looking for the right investment, and Lake Nona has become an amazing community.
NHN: What do you like writing/reading about or taking pictures of?
TT: I love to follow new trends and fashion and find the perfect heels to close deals.
NHN: What’s your favorite thing about Nonahood News?
TT: I love that the team is very creative and they are driven by supporting local businesses and the union of a community. It’s a family-owned company, and I’m all about family.
NHN: Where are you from originally?
TT: I am from a beautiful island in the Caribbean called “Puerto Rico.”
NHN: What’s your favorite hobby?
TT: I’m a foodie person, I love to try and find new places for dinner, drinks and coffee.
NHN: What’s your most embarrassing moment?
TT: When my accent gets so strong that I say the wrong things!!!
NHN: What’s your biggest dream?
TT: My biggest dream is to grow my company by creating employment opportunities for young people like me and inspire others with my story.
NHN: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
TT: I honestly believe in God’s plans. I am working toward becoming a better person and being successful in my career. Life is imperceptible and I can have a plan, but everything always twists with what He has planned for us.
NHN: What are you most excited about in Lake Nona?
TT: I am very excited about the Latin events happening in 2019! I miss a lot from my country, and I know many people that are originally from Latin America and other countries feel the same.
NHN: Who’s your biggest inspiration?
TT: Someone I really admire professionally and personally is my business partner, which I consider my sister, Mariannie Segarra. She has been a mentor and role model to me since I was 6 years old. She is smart and a very goal-driven woman, and no matter what she’s going through in life, she is resilient. I feel there’s nothing better than to surround yourself with people that inspire you. I am glad she is part of my life!
NHN: What’s your favorite book?
TT: I like reading short and sweet books. One of my favorites is You Are a Badass … you’ll understand why you are how you are, how to love what you can’t change, how to change what you don’t love, and how to use “The Force to Personal Success.”
NHN: What’s your favorite movie?
TT: I love chick-flicks – anything romantic with a bit of humor makes my night.
NHN: What show(s) have you binge-watched?
TT: Modern Family – I laugh with Sofia Vergara, and I can relate with her every day with my jokes and thick accent.
NHN: If you could add one thing to the Nonahood, what would it be?
TT: I love creating memorable events that people can enjoy, and we already started with Nonahood Latino Fiestas!!! So, I guess we are complete!
