        Abril’s first performance was when she was 6 years old as a Zebra in The Jungle Book, she still doesn’t have it very clear as to how she made it to the jungle. She has multiple interests but she loves to spend her time ice skating, and listening to music, especially rock anthems from the 80’s with Taylor Swift on the side. She also has a great passion for fashion, since she grew up in the creative process at her mother’s own boutique. She hopes to one day be able to retire in an Italian Villa with ABBA playing in the background.
