Leina Alejo is an actor-writer born and raised in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Her deep love for making art at an early age evolved from living room recitals to graduation from the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA to her final year here at UNCSA.
She is drawn to stories that portray the truth of the human experience, ugly or beautiful. Her passions for art do not end on stage or in front of the camera as she is also a skilled costume maker, special effects makeup artist, songwriter and poet. In her free time you can find her playing guitar, swimming shoulder-deep in the ocean, or tending to one of her hundreds of house plants.
