RAFAELA
TORCHIA

HEY
THERE !
I’m Rafaela (she/her), an actress born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and currently based in New York City. As a proud Latina artist, I’m passionate about telling stories that celebrate culture, spark connection, and make people feel seen.
I recently graduated from Penn State’s BFA Acting program, where four unforgettable years challenged me, inspired me, and shaped me into the artist I am today.
Some of my favorite memories include playing the daring Mrs. Woolcott in Bonnets: (How Ladies of Good Breeding are Induced to Murder), a role that pushed me creatively, and spending a semester abroad in London, where I immersed myself in one of the world’s greatest theater capitals.
When I’m not acting, you’ll probably find me at the gym, behind a camera, or with an oat milk latte in hand. I love photography, staying active, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. (And yes, I can drink an oat milk latte and immediately take a nap.)
Whatever project I’m working on, my goal is always the same: to bring honesty, curiosity, and joy to every story I tell.
