She embraces both strength and vulnerability, embodying characters from the unhinged to the empathetic. Inspired by iconic figures like Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor (Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, 1991), and Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Aliens (1986), Bianca is drawn to action-packed roles that redefine female archetypes. She has a passion for the creative freedom that genre hybrids like sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and action can bring to the screen for women. Bianca is equally passionate about complex, anti-hero types, and flawed characters. Fundamentally, Bianca is drawn to roles that empower the underdog, the outsider. Genre-bending roles that uplift marginalized voices and challenge societal norms. Bianca seeks to create characters that challenge the status quo and inspire action. Through powerful storytelling, she aims to inspire viewers to see themselves as agents of change, capable of transforming their own lives if they so wish. // S K I L L S // SPORTS / FITNESS: Advanced Weightlifting, Weight training, Athletic Yoga (5+ Years), Calisthenics TRACK AND FIELD: Sprinter 50, 75, 100mtr⁣ FIREARMS TRAINED: Pistol Shooting and tactical, USA Firearms license, weapons trained, field-strip ⁣ DRIVES: Shift Stick / Manual DANCE: Modern, nightclub grind MODEL: Runway, commercial, fitness, athletic-sports modeling ⁣ SPOKESPERSON: Video presenter, personal performance coach ⁣ VOICEOVER: Radio commercials, Software Apps, non-broadcast, corporate training videos ⁣ OTHER: Permanent USA Residency Status (Green Card Holder).
