Born in Brazil and raised in San Francisco, Thalyta first felt a connection to storytelling while learning English through TV and film. Her passion for acting began as a way for a shy girl to express herself and evolved into a deep love for exploring the complexity of the human experience, the power of connection, and an understanding of herself. After graduating from UCLA, she has appeared on NCIS: LA and in national commercials. Outside of acting, you can find her painting, cooking, reading, and smothering her unenthusiastic cat.
