Biography

Paloma, whose given name is a poignant and symbolic reference to the gentle and peaceful Spanish word for "Dove", was born on May 1st, 1975, in the vibrant city of London. Her parents, a harmonious blend of English and Mexican heritage, were free-spirited musicians who, shortly after Paloma's arrival, made the bold decision to relocate to the bustling metropolis of Mexico City, where she would spend the early years of her life. This formative period, marked by the influence of her parents' artistic endeavors, would ultimately shape Paloma's future path. However, when her parents' relationship came to an end, Paloma, then just nine years old, was forced to bid farewell to her childhood home and return to England with her mother. This significant transition marked the beginning of a new chapter in Paloma's life, one that would be characterized by her burgeoning passion for the performing arts. She began to explore her creative potential by participating in school plays, a precursor to her future endeavors. Her academic pursuits led her to read English and Performing Arts at the prestigious Bristol University. Since then, Paloma has established herself as a talented and versatile performer, gracing the London stage and appearing in numerous popular television dramas. Moreover, she has also demonstrated her versatility as a director, having helmed two short films that showcase her innovative storytelling abilities.
