Joe Ortiz and Daisey Acevedo are her parents' names. Her father was a detective, but little is known about her mother. She is a single child and thus has no siblings.

Early Life and Education

Jaina had a difficult upbringing as her family split up when she was seven years old. She was living with her mother in The Bronx at the time, and it was a difficult period for her. Her life, however, took a chance when she began acting at the age of nine.

Her scholastic background includes attendance at a local high school, where she was primarily interested in acting and acted in several school plays. She began taking salsa/mambo classes when she was nine years old and was teaching the dance at the age of fifteen.

Professionally Trained Actress

Jaina did not just transition from dancing to acting. She invested the time and effort necessary to master one of the most prominent acting approaches. She also spent two years honing her acting talents at Maggie Flanigan Studios, where she specialized in Meisner Technique.

This offered her an advantage in her fledgling acting career. She recognizes the benefits of bolstering a natural ability with professional training because she is a teacher/instructor herself.

Starting in TV Series

Jaina made her TV debut in 2012 when she was cast as Petrona in six episodes of the comedy "The Shop." It stars Orlando Deral Wilson, Crystal Rogers, and Mario Mosley and follows a group of people who find themselves in a Sherman Oaks salon. Because of low ratings, it was discontinued after seven episodes.

In 2017, Jaina starred as Angela Tio in four episodes of John Hlavin's blockbuster action drama "Shooter," which also starred Ryan Phillippe, Shantel VaSanten, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson. The series follows veteran Bob Lee Swagger, who has been ordered to return to service after a plan to assassinate the President was discovered. It received two nominations.

Jaina played Andy Herrera in three episodes of the award-winning romance drama "Grey's Anatomy" in 2019 and the same character in the romantic action drama "Station 19" in 2018. It's a spin-off from "Grey's Anatomy," and it also stars Jason George and Grey Damon. It covers the lives of those who work at Seattle's Firehouse Station 19, and it's won five of the six awards it's been nominated for.

Career in Movies

Seven films and five television programs have been credited to the Hollywood actress. She made her cinematic debut as Spanish Rice in the drama "Sad Spanish Song" in 2004 when she was 18 years old and still in school. Her next role occurred four years later, in the short fantasy "High Voltage," written and directed by Christina Soto, in which she played the lead character Dancer.

In 2012, she played I. C. in Shan Serafin's action drama "Misfire," which also starred Chloe Zak and David Fraioli and was written and directed by him. The film depicts a group of female assassins who have turned on one another after claiming to have killed the same person. Jaina was cast as Daniela in the short romance drama "Laid Out" the following year, but she shot to fame in 2014 with her role as Mary in the critically praised horror-fantasy thriller "The After." Chris Carter wrote and directed the picture, which starred Aldis Hodge, Andrew Howard, and Arielle Kebbel and followed eight characters who find themselves in an odd universe that defies explanation.

Jaina's most recent film appearance was in "Girls Trip," a 2017 adventure comedy starring Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, and Jada Pinkett Smith about four friends attending the annual Essence Festival. The film was a success, winning 13 of the 55 prizes it was nominated for. She is presently filming the thriller "Shelter," which will be released later this year.
