Meet Cerina

Ciao! 

And welcome to my website…

I hope this space brings you a little joy and light.

I’m a big believer in energy and vibes…

Even if you’re just reading about me, I want you to feel alive.

This is a little peak into my life’s work, my passion, my drive…

Making art, films, and TV are the things in which I strive.

Being an actor, a writer, brings me an immense amount of joy…

I live to make people laugh, to make people feel—and to mother my little boy.

Yes, I’m an actor and a writer, I host a podcast—and I am a mom…

The joys of motherhood have brought my heart a sense of calm.

I think this immeasurable amount of love is making me better…

Better actor, writer, creator, friend, and over-all go-getter. J

I work hard to bring my honesty and authenticity to every word in a screenplay…

To breathe life into the wild, beautiful characters in every audition, every day.

I owe so much gratitude to all the talented directors, producers, and writers…

To be working in the entertainment business—you have to be a fighter.

The rejection is abundant, but also, so is the love…

It takes guts, courage, thick skin, and magical stardust from above. 

I love to be on sets, on stage, even if it’s 3 am and freezing cold… 

114 degrees in the desert, or shooting in a bathhouse full of mold. J

Sit-coms, indies, studio films, and plays…

I love it all, and will continue to for the rest of my days.

For the last 25 years I’ve hustled, auditioned, won some and lost more…

But over the course of 2+ decades, I have a career that I adore.

Yes, you may know me as “Maya” the “Yellow Power Ranger…”

Fought the bad guys on FOX kids to keep the Universe from danger.

The series Power Rangers Lost Galaxy was in 1999…

Long before I was even old enough to enjoy a glass of wine. J

Or, maybe you know me from some of my more “daring” roles…

Shooting guns, covered in blood, or swinging on stripper poles. J

There’s my memorable character who bared all in Not Another Teen Movie…

Are you a horror fan?  If so, thank you for being so groovy!

I live for every bucket of blood, every hair raising, bone chilling scene…

Every fight with a monster, a sasquatch, a spirit, and every blood curdling scream. 

I feel like I owe my start to the many horrors and thrillers I’ve done. 

Like Cabin Fever, Return to House on Haunted Hill, It Waits—these were so much fun!

Maybe you’re a Disney fan! And been enjoying my quirky role as a mother…

I adored bringing “Suzy Diaz” to life, Stuck in the Middle was like no other.

Maybe you’ve seen me on Hallmark or chasing someone on Lifetime?

Or, on your favorite procedural in the center of some crime?

I’ve been on sit-coms playing a sexy call girl, or spin girl, or teacher… 

Girlfriend, mistress, waitress, or fighting some creature.

I’ve played a Beauty Queen…

And bitches who are mean. 

I WAS Miss Nevada Teen…

At sweet-sixteen… 

Long before I was on the big screen…

When being an actor was just a dream.

I wrote a book series for women redefining the term “Hot Chick,”

How to Eat, How to Love, How to live—here’s the trick;

Just love on yourself and stop the dumb fad diets… 

Tell the negative voice in your head to shut up and be quiet.

Everybody has a Belly Button I wrote for every sweet baby…

This picture book out now might help fight racism? Maybe?

Just doing my part to help spread some joy…

It’s for every child, every color, trans, girl, or boy.

I love yoga and wine, and cooking and hiking…

Traveling and snuggling, sunbathing and biking.

I’m Italian American—I make pasta and sauce…

I have 100+ cousins—my Grandma was a boss. J

Las Vegas, Nevada is where I was born and raised…

Hollywood is now home, and where I spend my days. 

I’m grateful to every single one of my fans.

Every child, teen, human, woman and man. 

I make art for you… Really, I do.

And I wish you the best… and that all your dreams come true. 

Thank you for being here. 

Lots of love…

Xo, Cerina
