Ada Cruz’s story begins before most of us can even walk. At just three years old, in daycare, she was handed the microphone and invited to perform. Singing and dancing freely on a makeshift stage, she discovered her first love. “I loved being free and creative,” she says. From that moment, performance was woven into her DNA. From school plays to community activities, she was always the one who stepped forward.
Life, as it does, had challenges in store. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, her dreams took a back seat as responsibilities and hard moments took priority. The flame never went out, but it dimmed. It took a conversation with Alycia Kaback to reignite it. “She made me realize that I could perform professionally,” Ada recalls. That simple shift in perspective was all she needed to step fully into her calling.
Today Ada lives in Camden, New Jersey and is an actor, commercial model, writer, production assistant, director, and producer. She is free to pursue her dreams without anything holding her back. “I love being creative and becoming someone else for a moment,” she says. For Ada, performance is both expression and escape. It is a gift she offers to others and a space where she feels most alive.
Her passion is grounded not just in self expression but in opportunity. “I want to make myself available for those in the right place to view my skills and personality,” she explains. She understands that talent blossoms where intention meets opportunity. And she knows the stories that need to be told require people of all ages, backgrounds, and perspectives. “The stories that are being told through the screen need people of all ages,” she says. “You have the opportunity to be part of that story if you work hard and try.”
Ada believes her calling is divine. Performing, for her, is not simply a career. It is her purpose. “Performing is my calling from God,” she says with quiet conviction. “I will follow the trajectory and tell the stories in my head.”
Her journey is both personal and universal: a reminder that dreams do not expire. They simply wait for the moment we are ready to bring them to life.
