BIOGRAPHY
 
Kikey grew up in the rural town of Hermiston,  Oregon. Her  earliest memories were out in the fields picking everything 
from potatoes to asparagus to cherries. She's proud of her heritage as a migrant worker because  it underscores her 
journey from day laborer to college graduate. Her BA in  Communications from the University   of Arizona is the first  
degree ever earned by anyone in her family.
 Originally, Kikey's eyes were set on being a CEO in the  business world, but in college, local theater gave Kikey the 
acting bug and her  new path took her to Hollywood.  She works with award winning theater companies such as 
Casa 0101, Company of  Angels, LATC and Ricardo Montalban. This experience has provided the foundation  for her 
work in TV and film, helping land roles in movies such as Nick  Cassavetes', Alpha Dog.

Kikey is a 2009 Imagen Award winning actress for ‘8 Ways To Say I Love My Life And Mean It!’ –
 Best Live Theatrical Production.  And is currently, a talk show co-host on  ‘Let’s Talk!’ Her other hosting duties include 
red carpet entertainment hosting  for Latin Heat Entertainment and LatinoBud.com.   She continues her busy acting 
career in film, TV and on stages around Hollywood. 

Kikey also finds time to give back to her community, she is the  Spokesperson for ‘What’s In Your Lunch Box’ a non 
profit organization committed  to providing children with Autism and their  families in underserved communities with 
appropriate nutrition and education  programs.  She also works with the  Los Angeles Music & Art School,  
Much Love Animal Rescue, Young Storytellers, Young Theatreworks, and the 12th  Annual Latino Book & 
Family Festival. It is Kikey's hope that people will  see no matter what your background is, you can live the 
American dream and be anything you set your heart to be.
