Yaquelin's passion for health and fitness began at a very young age. Following her dad's footsteps, she trained in Mixed Martial Arts through her elementary and middle school years, and proceeded to compete in high school wrestling. Her father emphasized that to be the best athlete, one must also fuel their body with whole foods, she grew up eating a mix of traditional Mexican food and healthy recipes her father curated. Additionally, her family practiced alternative medicine, consuming teas, herbs and other supplements to feel better.
Yaquelin graduated from the University of Nevada Reno with her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. A few months later she moved to Washington, to complete the dietetic internship in Seattle. During her time as in intern she shadowed many dietitians around the Seattle area, including WSU extension services, Rainer Rehabilitation Center, Providence Mt St Vincent, Sea Mar WIC and Outpatient clinics. She has counseled hundreds of patients from various backgrounds in different settings, led classes, and conducted lectures to professionals and the community.
