things. To find out more about those "other things,"

The first crossover VJ to appear on both the Spanish
language MTV Latino and the original MTV, Daisy got
her start as a news reporter on a Spanish-language channel
in New York. While at MTV, Fuentes also held a recurring
role one the ABC daytime drama, Loving. Her additional

Cybill and The Larry Sanders Show. Daisy has appeared

the ALMA awards, New Year's Rockin' Eve, the World Music
Awards and the Miss Teen USA pageant, among other events.
Born on November 17th, this fiery Scorpio is addicted
to TV: both in front of the camera and on the couch.
Daisy is a big fan of cheesy 80's TV shows: Fantasy
Island and Love Boat keep her glued to the tube. But
more than anything, Daisy loves the beach. Making Miami
her second home, Daisy says the sun and her family keeps
the spicy city her number one destination.
With a passion for compassion, Daisy gives her time
and energy to numerous charities, most notably St. Jude
Children's Hospital in New York.
