ABOUT ARIA
Hi, I'm Aria!
I’ve always been drawn to stories.
Not just the stories themselves, but the hidden layers beneath them...the psychology, contradictions, humor, longing, silence, and emotional truths that shape people across cultures and generations.
My creative life began early through drawing, writing, performance, and imagination. What started as childhood curiosity gradually evolved into a lifelong relationship with storytelling, voice, character, and artistic expression.
Stories became how I understood people, cultures, history, and the unseen layers beneath behavior.
Born in Central America, I’m deeply connected to my Latin American and Mediterranean roots, as well as a cryptic Sephardic heritage. I grew up in a Spanglish household where language was emotional, musical, and alive. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, speak Italian, and have working knowledge of French.
Language, sound, and cultural memory continue to shape everything I do across acting, voice work, coaching, and creative exploration. For me, expression is never purely technical. It’s embodied, emotional, ancestral, and alive.
I trained as an actor in New York at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, The Neighborhood Playhouse, and The Actors Studio before continuing studies in England through City Academy, RADA, and additional London-based training programs. I later returned to New York to continue more training. These experiences, across cities, cultures, and disciplines, profoundly shaped my relationship to craft, presence, and truth.
Living and training abroad deepened my relationship to text, voice, classical storytelling, and performance rooted in specificity and truth.
Performing internationally, including work connected to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and creative projects across Europe, expanded not only my artistic perspective, but also my understanding of human behavior, culture, and emotional expression.
Over time, the work became less about performance alone and more about presence, curiosity, and truth. Acting and living abroad taught me to listen deeply, stay open to contradiction, and meet both the work and the world with greater courage and humanity.
Storytelling has been my way of understanding people, culture, eras, and the unseen layers beneath behavior...
THE WORK
Alongside performance, I’ve worked as an artist, educator, and voice coach, spending years immersed in accent work, communication, and vocal expression. That path eventually led me into metaphysical study and consciousness work... another language for exploring how voice, identity, emotion, body, and belief intersect.
After years devoted to coaching, voice work, and inner study, I returned to acting with greater freedom and integration. I no longer separate intellect from intuition, or technique from instinct. The work now feels more alive, grounded, and honest.
I’m drawn to stories that trust the audience. Characters with agency, contradiction, humor, intelligence, and shadow. Work that feels intimate, emotionally honest, visually alive, and occasionally a little strange in the best possible way.
Acting is where many of my curiosities converge.
It allows me to explore human complexity through embodiment, intellect, instinct, humor, vulnerability, and shadow.
Whether on camera, on stage, or behind a microphone, I approach performance as both craft and listening practice, grounded in emotional truth, specificity, imagination, and play.
The most meaningful moments often arrive when we stop trying to control them.
