Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Arias followed in the footsteps of her father,
classic theater actor and singer Nelson Arias when she was a teenager by
performing in Peru's popular telenovela "Maria Emilia" as Susanita Pena. Along
with her mother Zonia, the family moved to Miami, Florida from Peru when Arias
was offered the role of Jimena Arismendi in the telenovela "Gata Salvaje."
Her career
soared from there; she landed roles on the popular novelas "Pobre Diabla" and
"Soledad" and the English language series "Karen Sisco" before landing the role
of Coni on "Amor Descarado" for Telemundo.
Arias
moved from Miami to Los Angeles for her role on Passions. The move marks the
first time that talent from a Telemundo telenovela will fill a contract role on
an NBC daytime drama.
In
addition to her father, Arias was greatly supported in her dreams to be an
actress by her mother, who was a social worker in Peru, and her two sisters
Paola and Mariana.
Arias is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English and has a love for all things
fashion. She graduated from fashion design college in Peru and when she's not
acting can be found pouring through books on fashion history, design and
costuming. She also enjoys American films and loves to go to the movies.
