Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in March 27th. Elisangela DiAlencar is the oldest of three
children. Raised by entrepreneurial parents, she learned at a very
young age the value of hard work and perseverance. And it didn't take
long until she would start applying those same values in her own
career. Growing up - now living in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (363
miles north of her place of birth) - Elisangela began working towards
her craft as she developed great business skills with a passion for
acting, at the tender age of 5. She started honing her skills in
community theaters while also taking acting and dance classes with
well-known arts instructor, Mauricio Tobias. Elisangela was well known
in her community for her public performances and for becoming the
youngest theater group director in her region.
In August of 2000, Elisangela DiAlencar moved to the United States to
pursue her acting career. A few years after being in the US, working
hard to learn the language and adapt to the culture, she was presented
with the opportunity to adopt and change the life of a little American
girl who needed a home and someone to love and care for her.
Elisangela, now a single mom, became a Real Estate Developer to help
make ends meet. But also managed to pursue a higher education as a
Harvard University student, eventually obtaining a degree in Business
Communication. She later attended Stella Adler Studio of Acting and UCB
Theater in New York City.
Elisangela's exotic and multiracial look, along with the ability to
speak Portuguese, Spanish and English, quickly earned her membership
status at The Screen of Actors Guild and The American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists. Her image can be seen on buses, trains,
billboards, and magazines for a variety of different advertising
campaigns. With a captivating personality, Elisangela is building a
solid career in national and international TV commercials. In addition
to print modeling and acting, she has begun branching out into
independent films, learning the thrill of being behind the scenes, as a
producer, and taking on principal roles in Hollywood productions and
popular TV shows.
