Nyah is a Hawai’i-grown creative who ventured across the country—and an ocean—to chase her passion for storytelling in New York City. From a young age, she’s been captivated by the power of narrative. 

Having the privilege of earning a BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, she continues to be fascinated by nuanced female roles, driven to uncover the more subtle and demanding facets of their identities.

As a proud Filipino-American, Nyah is committed to the bright future of Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander representation and bringing beautifully rich voices and stories to the forefront of her work. Now based in NYC, she works professionally as an actor and model, represented in the tri-state area by Vie Agency and in Hawai’i by Niche Models and Talent.

Her enthusiasm for travel and the ‘āina (earth) spark a profound curiosity, offering fresh perspectives and an appreciation for the world’s complexities. There’s no doubt this sense of wonder directly influences her approach as an actor. By drawing on these insights, Nyah aims to bring authenticity and depth to her acting. Every role is an opportunity to unveil more layers of the human experience and make a meaningful impact.
