If a certain actor doesn't appear here I either couldn't find or didn't have audio/video of them singing. In In The Heights, Carla works for Daniela at her salon in Washington Heights, but the movie adaptation of Lin-Manuel Mirandas Broadway hit musical puts a new. Nina arrives at the salon for a treatment, and they happily oblige, all the while gossiping. Carla, Vanessa and Cuca work at the neighborhood salon, which will be moving soon to the Bronx due to rising rent. Today, Carla is the mother of a beautiful, strong, and intelligent 4-year-old boy named Enzo, who occupies the majority of her free time, "but never lets me go about life without a bright smile on my face," she adds. I put as many different portrayals here as I could. In the Heights centers on a variety of characters living in the neighborhood of Washington Heights, on the northern tip of Manhattan. Carla and Daniela's coupling is a new addition to the film version in Miranda and Quiara Alegra Hudes's stage musical, Carla. She went on to study interpretation and translation, an experience that taught her the beauty of language and the art of linguistics. In the Heights marks her first starring role in a feature film.
Since then, she has developed a profound interest in immigration policy in the United States, and volunteered often with community organizations providing English classes for working adults as well as Citizenship Exam Preparation.
Many of her students came from hard-working immigrant parents who struggled to help their children to learn to read and write. During that time she also worked as a Supplemental Education Tutor with the Board of Education, providing home tutoring for children from K- 5th grade. From 2005 through 2012, she attended John Jay College pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Public Law. She returned to the United States in 2005. Originally from Jackson Heights in Queens, Carla moved to Buenos Aires, her parents' homeland, at age 11 to intensify her academic learning in Spanish.
