Gemma Ibarra

"I am the endearing, sexy, Spanish woman who’s a little bit loca and about to turn your life upside down."

We’re already friends, you just don’t know it yet, but I’m going to be very offended when I find out that you don’t know it.

I play that woman trying to keep everything together, but about to have a nervous breakdown. Think Sofía Vergara meets a European Julia Roberts.

I have received various acting awards, including ACE and HOLA in NYC and Talía in Madrid.
