About Me

I love to have long, deep, funny conversations with fascinating people… getting lost in thought, intimacy. I like learning about people & social theory. I’m an ACTRESS (and photographer - see BelLAnova Headshots). I've performed improv comedy with theatres in Florida, been in plays. Indie films. The oldest of six amazing sisters and a brother, I was born and raised in Brazil till the age of 15 and thus, am fluent in Portuguese. I like to write, act, edit - in addition to photography.I admire creativity paired with practicality.Favorite Quote: “The most important question a human being can ask is ‘Is the universe friendly?” - Albert Einstein I can also be seen on LACASTING.com/BelBaca, IMDB.com BelLAnovaHeadshots.com
