Keyla Monterroso Mejia

Keyla Monterroso Mejia isn’t just another face in the crowd—she’s got this whole energy that makes you watch her, even if you don’t mean to. Born February 26, 1998, straight outta Hawthorne, California, she’s not one of those Hollywood imports who fakes the local vibe. Nah, she’s the real deal—California sun, a bit of grit, and a sense of humor that sneaks up on you. You’ve probably seen her pop up in “Freeridge” (2023), where she absolutely nails the awkward, messy, trying-to-make-it work teen thing. She’s got this way of delivering a line where you’re laughing one second and thinking, “Wait, did she just roast me?” the next. It’s kind of wild, honestly. Then in “Launchpad” (2021), she steps into this world of short films that give fresh voices a shot—she fits right in, like she was born to throw curveballs at the audience. “The 90 Day Plan” (2021) is another notch on her belt, proof she’s not just dipping her toes in but actually making waves. She’s got that mix of awkward charm and sharp wit, which, honestly, Hollywood could use more of. There’s something refreshing about seeing someone who isn’t afraid to look a little goofy or vulnerable on screen. Feels like she’s just getting started, too—so if you haven’t caught her work yet, you’re probably gonna hear her name a lot more. Keep your eyes peeled.
