About Juanita Ringeling
Chilean actress and singer Juanita Ringeling was born on May 15, 1986, in the coastal town of Cachagua, Valparaíso. She grew up there and moved to Santiago to study acting at Universidad Católica's Acting School. Seeking unconventional theatre, she lived and trained at the Double Edge Theatre in Ashfield, Massachusetts, and later completed workshops with the Odin Theater in Denmark and Teatro de los Sentidos in Malacahuello.
Ringeling has built a wide-ranging career as an actress, singer, and producer. She has played leading roles in films, theater, television, and web series, including the TV serial Bim Bam Bum, the movie La Tirana, and the musical The Beauty and the Beast.

After achieving success in Chile, with roles in over eight TV shows, seven films, and various theater pieces and web series, she moved to Los Angeles in May 2016.
