Born in Washington Heights, and raised across the Hudson in West New York, New Jersey, Aileen (she/her) is a proud first-generation Dominican-American. Through her work, she hopes to advocate for more Latinx representation on and off screen, as well as on and off stage. Her love of storytelling started at the young age of 2, when she first learned to read, and hasn’t stopped since. When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would reply, “Barbie!” Unfortunately, “Barbie” is not a viable career choice, but she found acting in high school, and that’s pretty close if you ask her. In her free time, she enjoys embroidering tote bags, and romanticizing NJ Transit train rides.
