Paloma was born and raised in Delray Beach, right on the coast of South Florida. She has a multicultural background with both of her parents being from Brazil, while also having ancestry from Italy and Portugal. Growing up with three citizenships (American, Brazilian, and European Portuguese), she frequently traveled around the world, fostering a sense of curiosity and exploration. Modeling from a young age further fueled this open and adaptable perspective, as she embraces meeting new people, asking questions, and contributing to conversations. Throughout her modeling career, she has dedicated her time to her studies, professional interests, and active lifestyle. After graduating college at just 19 years old, she spent a year living abroad in Spain, broadening her experiences and improving her Spanish, alongside her second-language, Portuguese. Now back in South Florida, she enjoys going to the beach, exercising, reading, exploring creative outlets, and most importantly, balancing her modeling and marketing aspirations.
