A Bit About Me
I’m Paola Nicole Toro Justiniano, a multi-hyphenated artist from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. My journey in the arts began with music, theater, and visual arts, where I immersed myself in my school and church communities. These early experiences fueled my passion for acting, filmmaking, content creation, and graphic design.
After high school, I moved to New York City to pursue my dreams, earning a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, with minors in Business of Entertainment Media and Technology, and Film Production. My training at The Stella Adler Studio of Acting and Stonestreet Studios provided me with a solid foundation in theater and film.
Beyond acting, I create beauty and lifestyle content, collaborating with brands to produce engaging UGC. In 2023, my brother and I launched a clothing brand, Fefi and Lola, inspired by our Puerto Rican heritage.
As a proud Latina, I founded Lola’s Studios to challenge stereotypes and create opportunities for Latino and BIPOC creators in the entertainment industry. While it’s just me and my stories for now, I’m excited to see Lola’s Studios grow and change the world. I believe in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and bring important stories to life.
