Reminiscent of an isthmus, Yumarie Morales, of Panamanian and Puerto Rican parentage, has always found herself at the intersection of American culture and traditional Latin American values. Being an "Army brat" afforded her the opportunity to live and travel around the world, collecting experiences for what would turn out to be her true creative expression, performing. A graduate from the University of Northern Colorado, she promised her mother she would secure a backup plan; so while double majoring in Theatre and Spanish Literature, she also minored in communication. Little did Mom know, these curriculum were chosen to compliment her craft. Presently, she lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, and can be spotted frequently during the commercial break. While commercial work has been a privilege, she hopes that the connections she's made in TV and film, continue to provide a path to perform for larger audiences while demonstrating a key message, representation matters.
