Her mother, a seamstress would be her first instructor, teaching her to be the best at sewing, Jacinta never realized fashion would become the center of her life, she only thought she was learning a survival skill. Jacinta soon learned she was not only a natural at sewing, but a phenomenon at creating new shapes and designs, She would later in life (2006, Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale) graduated #1 in her class and received the highest achievement award, receiving a degree in fashion.
