 Stephanie Nogueras ​is an Actor of Puerto-Rican descent. She is a beautiful rising star. That is a huge compliment for this determined ingénue, who left her home on a New Jersey farm right out of college for a life in the big City of Hollywood. Within six months, Stephanie landed a recurring role on Freeform’s Switched at Birth as “Natalie Pierce” till Season 5. The Season 4 finale episode #4010 was inspired by an actual event in Stephanie’s life. Stephanie booked a “Guest Star” role as “Elly” on NBC’s Fantasy Cop Show Grimm. Nogueras’s role as a Deaf Mermaid earned that episode its highest rating for the Season.  In an interview about her role on the show, Stephanie told People Magazine “There’s Nothing in My Life That Would Limit My Ability to Succeed". Stephanie has quickly become a Role Model, as her commanding presence in the public eye has been inspiring for both the Deaf and Hearing alike. She earned a Liberal Arts and Science Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology; RIT in Rochester, New York. Stephanie enjoys sleeping in, dancing, hiking, traveling, reading good books, spending with loved ones and fur kids. When she is not acting, Stephanie is teaching American Sign Language and mentoring families of deaf children all over in Los Angeles County. She is also consulting, collaborating and ASL coaching for television shows/films.
