Monterroso is hovering in the news because of her beautiful performance as Gloria in the comedy-packed mystery drama “Freeridge.” The story of this Jamie Dooner TV series revolves around a pack of friends who fear that they have unleashed a fatal curse.

On July 21, 1998, Keyla Monterroso Mejia (age 24) took birth in Hawthorne, California, America. According to sources, Keyla is half Mexican and half Guatemalan. Her father, Juan Carlos, and mother, Chely, are barbers.

In childhood, Monterroso used to watch many movies, which inculcated a feeling in her heart to become an actress, but that seemed like a far-fetched dream to her.

Also, Keyla was afraid that her parents would never approve of her decision, but she was wrong; her mom and dad not only approved of her decision but also supported her wholeheartedly.

When the first time Mejia visited Gloria Garayua with her dad, she was too afraid even to enter the studio, but her padre took charge and knocked on the door, following which Keyla met her acting coach and began her training. In 2016 she completed high school and decided to join an improv course at The Groundlings.

While talking to NY Post, Monterroso revealed that getting selected to work with Larry was such a big thing for her that she was afraid that the opportunity that she had would slip from her hand and also kept having nightmares of getting fired from the show’s set. Currently, critics consider her one of the most talented young actors that could play a comic role.
