Best known as the daughter of Maria Canals Barrera, who gained fame from her role in Wizards of Waverly Place, she stepped into the spotlight at a young age. Before really making a name for herself, she actually made her acting debut back in 2011—can you believe it?—appearing alongside her mom in an episode of the popular Disney series. That early experience must have been special, sharing the screen with her mother. Her father’s name is David, and family seems to play a big role in her life. She also has a sister, Madeleine, so growing up, there was always someone close by. Being part of such a supportive family, especially with a well-known parent like Maria Canals Barrera, definitely shaped her path. Still, she’s steadily building her own story, one step at a time.
Back in 2014, she took on the role of Isabella in the pilot episode of the ABC comedy Cristela, marking a notable moment in her career. She brought a unique energy to the character, and it was clear from the start that she had a strong presence on screen. Her performance as Isabella stood out, showcasing her comedic timing and helping set the tone for the series. It was one of those early roles where she really began to make her mark in television.
