Camila Herrera is a proud Cuban-American first-generation artist born and raised 20 minutes away from Miami in Hialeah, Florida. 305 ¡Dale! 

 

Growing up Camila fell in love with performing by taking inspiration from her grandfather who was an actor and performer in Cuba. As she continued to further her craft, she realized how inaccessible the arts were for low-income students, limiting opportunities for artists like herself. Nonetheless, she never gave up and decided to take matters into her own hands. She made the exciting and terrifying decision to transfer high schools during her senior year to pursue theatre.

​

In between finishing her senior year, vocal lessons, after school rehearsals, and working endless "Soup & Salad" shifts at her local Olive Garden, she never once regretted her decision to follow her heart. 

 

Today, Camila's same ambition has led her to living in New York City pursuing her career at New York University. She expects to graduate in Spring 2027 with a BFA in Drama from her training in Tisch’s New Studio on Broadway and The Atlantic Acting School along with a minor in Educational Theatre.

 

​This summer she is currently apart of the Chain Theatre's One Act Play Festival! Catch her as Gloria in For Us by Bofang Zhou.
