She grew up with her four siblings, two sisters, Aliyah and Mia, and two brothers, Markus and Isaac, in the desert valley in Southern California, the Coachella Valley.

Ortega developed interest in acting at just five years of age, although, at that time, her mother also thought it to be a fleeting attraction of a kid. However, when her parents saw that she was quite serious on pursuing it, they made contacts with agents that led her to get chance for auditions.

This young Latina forayed into the world of acting at the age of 9 with the bit role of a ‘Girl’ in the 2012 American sitcom TV series ‘Rob’. She appeared in the sixth episode of the series titled ‘The Baby Bug’ that was aired on February 16, 2012, and viewed by around 10.65 million viewers.

Following ‘Rob’, she portrayed the role of Aimee Moore in the ninth season of the popular American police procedural TV series ‘CSI: NY’ in one of its unique episodes titled ‘Unspoken’ that was aired on October 19, 2012.

She made her debut on big-screen with the critically acclaimed box-office hit ‘Iron Man 3’, an American superhero film sequel to ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Iron Man 2’. She essayed the role of the Vice President’s daughter in the film that released in 2013 and emerged as the year’s second highest grosser.

She was next seen in the James Wan directed and Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne starrer ‘Insidious: Chapter 2’, an American supernatural horror film that released on September 13, 2013. The film was a blockbuster and saw her playing the part of Annie.

She played a recurring role, Zoe Leon, in the 2014 American comedy-drama TV series ‘Rake’. That year she also landed up with the iconic role of Mary Ann in the American direct-to-video comedy flick ‘The Little Rascals Save the Day’ that released on April 1 by ‘Universal Pictures’.

Her style idols are “Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, Selena Gomez and Lupita Nyong’o. Each of these women has a style that is elegant, fun and, most importantly, fits the occasion.”
