Bolivian-born and Texas-raised, I’m a NYC-based actor who was adopted and grew up in Dallas. I’m Indigenous (reconnecting Aymara) and Latina, as well as a TRIA (transracial international adoptee). As a quiet kid with an active imagination, I loved playing outside and making up fantastical stories. Young me wondered why I didn’t see people who looked like me in movies and shows on TV. Cue a free Shakespeare class, an interest in stage combat, and the Dallas Arts Magnet high school. I was part of my school’s Mime Troupe and the inaugural Skokos Learning Lab in collaboration with Dallas Theater Center, and later got my BFA at SMU. I have continued telling stories in NYC on stage and screen. When I’m not acting, I can be found falling in love with a dog on first sight, reading for my book club, or out on a tennis court!
