In January 2007, she teamed up with fellow VJ, Yasmin in mun2’s reality show The Chicas Project. The show is based on two close friends of different styles and backgrounds that are sent out on adventures each week, where they learn new talents like how to surf, host events, or perform outrageous stunts like skydiving. Keeping with the mission of mun2, no matter what they do, the chicas always try to keep themselves and their identity rooted in their Latin background. The show premiered its 4th season on July 9.
