Education

About me

Classically trained at the National Institute of Arts (I.N.B.A), a reputed drama school in Mexico city and at The Institute of Stage Arts (I.A.E). I was spotted by leading Director Manuel Castillo whilst training, who then gave me my professional theatrical debut in his production of The House of Bernarda Alba as Bernarda. My performance and characterization were acclaimed and thus followed a 9 year span (1994 - 2003) of professional experience including leading roles in classical productions in Mexico City. Productions such as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, Andromache in The Trojan Women, Chorus in The Seven against Thebes, Nina in the Seagull, Madame de Saint-Fond in Madame de Sade, Monsieur de la Coterie in A curious Mishap, The Wife and then The Bride in Blood Wedding, Constanza in Photograph by the Sea of Mexican author Emilio Carballido, Zuzanka and various roles in Zuzanka's Game of Milos Makourec, Lucille in Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Dona Beatriz and Leonarda in Cervantes's Eight Comedies and Eight New Interludes, Pascuala in Fuenteovejuna, Elvira in The Best Mayor, The King, Various characters on Streetwise (Contemporary Mexican theatre, Jesus Gonzalez Davila) amongst others. I have received great references from these mainstream directors and producers in Mexico. Between removed I moved to London, studied voicework, Tai chi, Meditation and raised a family. In 2013 I co-presented my first Latin Radio show "La M" in London in English and Spanish. I also began to work as a voice-over actor in projects such as the James Bond movie Spectre and Special Correspondents doing ADR, Audio-books, animation and commercials. Most recently I have returned to the stage testing the waters as a Latin actor in London working with Irish director Gavin McAllinden playing lead and supporting roles in Moliere's Misanthrope as Phillinte, Lucienne in A Flea in her Ear by Feydau, Olga in Three Sisters and Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra. In these productions, my performances were described by critics as "exceptional".
Additional skills:
18 years experience in T'ai Chi, meditation and voice training. I can do T'ai chi sword too.
Additional information:
Excellent standard of spoken (and written) English. I don't have a strong foreign accent, but can play a stronger accent if needed. Have received voice coaching for English.
People find my voice very calm, sometimes sexy and with a special timbre.
