Her path to greatness started at the tender age of 8, as she was featured in the critically acclaimed classic musical, The Jungle Book. Only 4 years later, she attained her first movie role in Guavas, which served as a launchpad for Naya to be featured in three summer movie hits: Gesta, On the Edge, and The Treasure Across the River. Among Naya’s many other tremendous achievements, she recorded the theme song for Disney’s Princess Repunzel for the widely-known T.V. series, Tangled.

Naya’s role model has always been her countrywoman, Natalie Portman. Naya was enthralled by Portman’s incredible performance in Leon: The Professional, leading Naya to make a promise to herself, that she would follow in her idol’s footsteps and get a shot at the big screen. Facing the difficult hurdles of rejection are commonplace in her industry, and although dealing with rejection can be frustrating, Naya has never let these obstacles stop her from chasing her dream.
There was a specific part in an international hit drama series that Naya strongly desired, and even though she felt her audition was spot on during her callback, another actress was chosen over her because of matching limitations.
