 Stephanie Nogueras ​is an Actor of Puerto-Rican decent. 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”.  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” (11/2013). Stephanie is also an accomplished Hair & Petite Model with three Magazine Covers to her credit. She is currently working on upcoming projects. 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 Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology; RIT in Rochester, New York. 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 and ASL coaching for television shows/films.
