Anabelle Gandara Araya
Hiii, I am Anabelle, also known as Anabella Gandara, a proud mix of Mexican and Costa Rican roots with an adventurous, creative spirit and a deep love for nature and animals.
My story actually begins with a bit of fate...my mom, who’s from Costa Rica, was just touristing in Mexico when she met my dad, a true mexican from the north of the country.Just one year later and here I was! Born and raised in the heart of Mexico City, I grew up immersed in both Mexican and Costa Rican traditions—think tamales at Christmas and gallo pinto for breakfast.🇲🇽🇨🇷
Since I was a child, I was full of energy, always putting on little performances, and finding any excuse to be in the spotlight. As a teenager, my world expanded when I started traveling, and that passion for adventure has never left me. Exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and stepping out of my comfort zone have shaped me in ways I never imagined.💭💫

At 10 years old, I took my first steps into the entertainment world, studying and graduating from Televisa’s prestigious Centro de Educación Artística (CEA). Three years later, at 13, I officially started my career, working in TV novelas, TV commercials, theater plays, fashion runways, and print campaigns.🎬
Now, 10 years later, I’ve pushed myself to move to one of the world’s most artistic and competitive cities—New York City. Here, I’ve been expanding my portfolio, modeling for designers, shooting for magazines, walking in runways of NYFW 24/25, being part of media campaigns for major global brands like Sephora and Remington, acting in short films, and even landing background roles in major projects, like Disney series and movies featuring Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler.🗽
But my passion doesn’t stop at modeling and acting. I have a college degree in Social Communication and during my years in school, I realized that my greatest love is for nature, animals, people and the planet we all share.🌎
More than anything, I dream of becoming a public figure and speaker, to use my voice to create change, to inspire people to care for the world around us, and to make a real difference in society.

I am fluent in both Spanish and English and currently learning French.
This portfolio is in English because, let’s be honest, it’s the language that connects people from all cultures. But make no mistake—I love my language, and I’d rather speak in Spanish hihi ¡Viva los latinos!
I believe in the power of connection, storytelling, and action. My journey has been filled with exciting challenges, new opportunities, and constant growth, and I hope this is just the beginning of something bigger.
Let’s create something meaningful together!
