On what, if anything, there is to know about life for Salina De La Renta outside of MLW:

Salina De La Renta: "I don't mind sharing my private life because there's not much to share. I would say I'm a career person. The majority of the things I do are for work... I'm [also] working on my plan B. I go to college and I am doing a Bachelors in the Dramatic Arts with the intention of continuing to study and doing a Masters and a PhD in Psychology... I need to work hard, sacrifice my 20s, I would say those 10 years of my life and then after I'm 30 I can just chill and be like, 'Hey guys, I worked so hard on that. Now look what I'm doing.'

On whether her old coworkers at McDonald's know about her current success with MLW:

Salina De La Renta: "My boss at the time... She messaged me the other day. I posted the other day, like a month ago I posted a picture of me at McDonald's winning a big a speaker... because I was like the 'Best Customer Service Employee Of The Week' or something. I was so proud and I had that achievement and my face was just glowing. Then I took another picture and I'm like, 'started at the bottom now we're here.' A couple of the people at McDonald's still message me and we go out and talk. Oh yeah, I don't forget them."
