2024-09-24
Marla Enriquez is a Filipino born and raised in Hong Kong. She speaks fluent Cantonese, thanks to her mother, who encouraged her to immerse herself into the local culture by studying in local schools and making local friends.
On the surface, Marla is an English teacher who enjoys vlogging and sharing her daily life on social media, introducing the life of Filipinos in Hong Kong. Deep inside, the 26-year-old has a dream since childhood – to step onto the Broadway stage.
She was admitted to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in 2019, but the pandemic made her cease her study. Questioning herself, she almost gave up her dream.
But another door opens.
Marla met a group of like-minded mentors and friends. They share her passion for performing and help and support her. Marla finally took to the stage again. The performance not only fulfilled her desire to perform, but also shed light on the direction in pursuing her dream.
