Masiela Lusha was born October 23, 1985 in Tirana, Albania. At the age of seven her family moved to Macomb County, Michigan.
Active in the theater and dance communities there, she moved to Los Angeles at age thirteen and pursued work as a model and
actress. Her big break came when she was cast as Carmen, the daughter of George Lopez on his eponymous sitcom. Lusha attended
UCLA even while she was appearing on the show. She is also an author, having published a book of poetry and a children's book.
