BRINGING STORIES TO LIFE
SAG-AFTRA
Marissa Tomei’s vulnerability meet Sofia Vergara’s spice! Bonnie may have been born in New York but her Colombian roots just can’t help themselves. She is an energetic, funny and down to earth actress. Her natural charisma flows effortlessly into the roles she plays bringing them to life. When not being cast as the funny caring mom, she's the lawyer, detective, sexy Latina or that hovering PTA mom you avoid at all costs.
ABOUT
My way thru life has always been: Just do it.
As a little girl I was mesmerized with the people on TV. I literally thought that all those people lived inside of my TV. I imagined where they came from, how did they speak different languages and where did they sleep?
My imagination continues to take me to far, far away places and imagine different lives and scenarios. I bring these characters to life.
Being 1st generation American I truly have paved my way into this industry. My passion and perseverance propels me everyday to continue on this journey as an actor.
