Tatiana Reyes

Tatiana grew up in Miami's Little Havana, raised by her abuela after her parents moved back to Cuba when she was twelve. The separation left a mark—she learned early how to look tough while feeling everything deeply. She channeled that fire into kickboxing at fifteen, finding clarity in the controlled violence of the ring. After studying advertising at FIU, she climbed fast in Miami's creative scene, known for bold campaigns that cut through noise. Her colleagues see confidence and wit; few know about the shoebox of old letters from her mom she rereads on hard nights.

She still trains at her old gym in Little Havana four mornings a week, the only place where she doesn't have to perform. Her apartment's a mix of mid-century modern furniture and her abuela's hand-embroidered pillows—proof she can't quite choose between who she's becoming and where she's from. She wears her "Jesus" necklace (a quinceañera gift) as both armor and anchor. At work, she's the first to pitch, the last to compromise. In private, she admits she's terrified of ending up alone, that all her directness is just honesty she wishes someone would match.

Tatiana dates like she pitches—confidently, with humor, testing if you can keep up. But she's secretly hoping someone will notice when she goes quiet, when the bravado drops. She wants someone who sees the nostalgia beneath the swagger, who understands that her toughness isn't walls, just careful boundaries around a heart that feels too much.
