Meet Angelle De La Rosa

We recently connected with Angelle De La Rosa and have shared our conversation below.

Angelle , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

Emigrating to the United States at the age of 14 was one of the most daunting experiences of my life. I arrived without knowing the language, the culture, or the people, and I was thrust into a world vastly different from the small village of 5,000 I called home. Now, I found myself navigating life in a bustling county of millions. The challenges were immense, but my mother, Maria Jael, instilled in me a transformative mindset: to find the best in every situation, even during life’s most trying moments.

She taught me to replace fear with excitement and discomfort with inspiration, reminding me that true growth only happens outside of one’s comfort zone. Her wisdom continues to guide me: “Your new life will cost you your old life.” This mindset fuels my determination to embrace challenges, knowing that the only time I should feel apprehensive is when life becomes too comfortable—because comfort means growth has stalled.

This journey, though challenging, has shaped me into someone who views every obstacle as an opportunity for transformation.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

My name is Angelle De La Rosa, a proud Nicaraguan model and polyglot fluent in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Beyond languages, I channel my passion for creation into coding, mastering five programming languages: C, Python, C++, JavaScript, and VHDL. As an immigrant who arrived in the United States in 2016, I carry with me the resilience and drive to make a meaningful impact.

Currently, I am deeply invested in expanding my knowledge of business and technology, with the vision of founding my own software company in the future. A lifelong enthusiast of languages, I aim to fluently speak seven, reflecting my commitment to continuous learning and growth. My recent exploration of cybersecurity has been particularly inspiring, opening doors to a field that deeply intrigues me.

On the modeling front, I am thrilled to be represented by BEST Modeling Management under the guidance of my incredible managers, Jillian Shepher and Claude LeFrancois. I am dedicated to advancing my modeling career and exploring diverse opportunities within the industry.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are optimism, resilience, and curiosity. These traits have been the foundation of my growth and the reason I’ve reached a place in life where I feel truly fulfilled. Every day, I wake up with gratitude, thanking God for the opportunity to grow and pursue happiness.

For those earlier in their journey, my advice is to surround yourself with people who embody the life and mindset you aspire to achieve. Being in the presence of those who inspire you will fuel your ambition, encourage personal growth, and help you build meaningful relationships. Embrace discomfort when facing new challenges—it is through these moments that you’ll become more well-rounded, wise, and capable.

Stay resilient, even when faced with criticism or doubt from others. Often, the very people who may mock you today will eventually seek your guidance, asking, “How did you do it, and how can I start?” Above all, remain humble and never forget where you come from. Your roots are the foundation of your strength and success.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

When I feel overwhelmed, I wholeheartedly recommend EMDR therapy. I am fortunate to work with an exceptional therapist who provides a safe space for honest expression and thoughtful feedback. Prioritizing mental health has been transformative for me—not only in fostering happiness but also in achieving personal growth, clarity, and success.

Having someone who deeply understands you, offers guidance without judgment, and genuinely advocates for your well-being is invaluable. A trusted therapist helps you navigate challenges with empathy and sincerity, ensuring the solutions you arrive at come from a place of care and authenticity. For me, this support has been instrumental in managing overwhelm and thriving both personally and professionally.
