Natalia Valerie

Natalia Valerie was born in Joaquín Suárez, Canelones, Uruguay (directly underneath Brazil) her mother is Brazilian and her father is Uruguayan. At 5 years old her parents came to America in search of new opportunities for themselves and Natalia. They settled in New Jersey, which is where Natalia grew up from the age of 5 years old on up. Natalia first fell in love with acting while auditioning for and winning the role of Miss Adelaide in her high school's version of the play 'Guys and Dolls'. When she wasn't in theater class, she was playing the flute in high school marching band, or taking piano lessons in the summer. After high school, Natalia studied at Fairleigh Dickinson University (NJ), and received her Bachelor's and Master's Degree. In college Natalia was also scouted by a modeling agent from NYC while at a Mall in New Jersey. She signed to model in New York, but always found herself attending Broadway & Off-Broadway shows, as well as movies every chance she had. With her degree in hand, she decided to move to Los Angeles, to pursue a career in TV/Film. As with any passion, she decided that when she finally looks back on her life, she wants to know she truly lived life and gave every ounce of energy she had to her passion, in this case: Acting. Besides acting, Natalia loves to go out dancing, dinner with friends, hiking on the weekends, and discovering hidden/out of the way unique furniture and antique stores. She also has taken some piloting lessons out of KSMO (Santa Monica Airport) and has friends who are pilots (They sometimes fly up to Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and down to San Diego for short day trip adventures.)
