Nina Naval is an actor, filmmaker, and photographer born and raised in Metro Manila, Philippines, but based in New York City. She attained her BFA in Drama, along with a minor in Disability Studies and another in Anthropology, from New York University. Being a disabled woman herself who uses a wheelchair to travel long distances, Nina is a disability rights advocate hoping to increase representation and accessibility in the entertainment industry, as well as to engage with the creative community all over the world.

Outside of work, Nina thoroughly enjoys baking, cooking, archery, and dog training. Her service dog in-training Stash often accompanies her while she runs errands throughout the day to have more training opportunities. You would often be able to find Nina reading on a bench at the dog park while Stash is off-duty playing. She could also be watching something that popped up on her YouTube recommended page, which consists of law and true crime videos.
