Novalena


Novalena
Novalena is a 30 year old born in San Francisco California to a Puerto Rican family. She grew up in the Bay Area in San Mateo close to San Francisco, where she went to Hill Del High School. At Hill del she got great grades and took AP classes. She applied to 4 colleges UC Davis, Berkley, Santa Clara, and UC San Diego, she got into all but UC Santa Clara and went with UC Davis because the professors seemed to care about the student and not just his thesis.
Graduated and off to Europe with some friends Novalena traveled to many places across Europe Paris Niece, Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, and many more. Getting back to the States Novalena knew she wanted to branch out, but she wanted to stay close to family. She found herself moving to San Diego with some friends and looking for a job. When she got one it was at a mortgage company and she was quickly deflated by it all, she knew there had to be more to life. So she went with an idea put in her head by people who would say “You have a great voice why not do acting or something”. She went back to school for acting at city and found a job at a radio station based on helping woman.
This job at the radio station and the fact that people I her family have chemical imbalances inspired her 2nd book “ Total Female Package”. The book is a self help book which helps woman to be able to believe in themselves and look in the mirror and really love the woman they see. The book gives tips on how to do this by the ways Novalena lives her life. Novalena lives her life with 5 important values Love, connection, growth, authenticity, and relationships. She learned authenticity by one of her two heroes which is her father who always told her “Do things your way and don’t let other people tell you how to live”. Her dad is her biggest supporter and her parents are her best friends, she loves her family.
Living her life and loving her job Novalena is perfect for because she loves learning about people and growing from it. With relationships she takes liked values from each and wants those in the quality of the man she marries. Getting married is her goal and dream, where she will have two kids of her own and adopt many. In her family she wants to be an active whole and involved in the community, and her kids school, but she does not feel pressured everything happens at the right time she never feels instinctively pressured. Everything that has been taught to her in her life and everything she chose to believe has gotten her very far,with her positivity, strong, and confident in self she is the “Total Female Package”.
