Gabriela Santiago
ABOUT
I am a Chicago-based actor originally from Brazil, committed to refining my craft and aspiring to greater heights as an international storyteller. I aim to bring my culture and essence into my work as a global artist. I am a true believer that representation empowers people to pursue what at first seemed out of reach.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Performance from California State University, Long Beach, and worked as professional actor in Los Angeles. Striving to refine my training, I came to Chicago and am currently pursuing a degree in Master of Fine Arts in Acting at The Theatre School at DePaul University. Here, I am enhancing my skills in physical performance, diving deeper into dialect work, and enjoying the snow.
Beyond acting, I have a passion for dancing, digital drawing, and baking brownies (especially when I get to put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top)
