- Ms. Fanservice: She has competed in several beauty pageants, being crowned as Miss South Texas, Miss Rio Grande Valley America, and Miss Teen Brownsville. Her portrayal of Isabelle in Shadowhunters was also considered Hotter and Sexier than the original version of a character who was already a Shameless Fanservice Girl.
