Hoffmann worked in modeling and acting, appearing in 16 telenovelas by age 20.[citation needed] She moved to Miami, Florida in 1985,[3] where she opened La Capricieuse, a high-fashion luxury boutique in Miami's Coconut Grove.

Her own show, Delicioso, launched on DirecTV Para Todos in 2005. Delicioso now airs on Univision's cable network, Galavision.
