Carla Maria
Born in Berkeley, CA… I am a true Bay Area girl. Both of my parents are originally from the Philippines and moved here during college. My culture is very important to me, as are my relationships with my loved ones. I am very family oriented and value my family and friends above all else- without them I’d be lost. I love my parents very much, so proud of all they have accomplished and remain thankful for having them in my life.
I am the eldest of 3 children, and unfortunately I don’t think I’m the best role model at times, but nobody’s perfect. I cannot express how important my family and friends are to me- siblings, parents, cousins, friends, etc. they are my biggest supporters…their love is the most significant element in my life.Though born and raised in Northern California, as my modeling career continued to open new doors for me, I decided to move to Southern California to be closer to my work and to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. I have now been living in the Los Angeles/Orange County areas for a little over a year now and absolutely love it!
Between modeling, school, and work I am constantly on the go…but I wouldn’t have it any other way! On any given day you could find me at school, working out in the gym, at a yoga or boxing class, shopping, on set at a photoshoot, or out at the clubs with my girlfriends.
Carla Maria - what are your goals?
My goals for the future are to continue modeling, open up my own yoga studio, and launch a clothing line. Though my ambitions may or may not change, one thing I plan to do in the future is to raise a family and be the best mother and wife I can possibly be.
Carla Maria - what are your long term plans?
I am a very active young woman and love new challenges and experiences. As my life continues I look forward to discovering what the world has to offer me… as well as what I have to offer the world. I believe knowledge is power and will probably continue my education - even after settling down and having children of my own… but for now I definitely love taking some time to party and enjoy life! I eagerly await what will come next and hope that you continue to support me! Thanks so much.
