Biography


Isabella Cuda was born on November 09, 2005 in Virginia. She was born with Spina Bifida and a tethered spinal cord which her family was told she would never be able to walk. With the power of prayer and two major spinal cord surgeries performed by presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson Isabella proved doctors wrong. At age four Isabella was enrolled in a children's theater troupe after her family moved to California and this is where she found her love for acting. With her outgoing personality Isabella decided pretend to be a waitress and take everyone's order at a restaurant one night while out to eat and one of those customers happened to be a talent agent. The agent was very impressed by Isabella and six months later she booked her first national commercial for Enbrel. It was there she worked with pro golfer Phil Mickelson and discovered her other passion for golf. She has went on to make the PGA Jr. team at age seven and two years later shot her first hole in one during the NCJGA tournament at Lomas Santa Fe Executive Course.

Since booking her first commercial Isabella has gone on to appear in spots for California Association of Realtors, TD Ameritrade, and Walmart. Her theatrical credits include Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Shameless, Criminal Minds, Bunk'd and the film Eternal Salvation.

When not working Isabella can be found playing the Marimba in her high school marching band. With triple US/Swiss/Croatian citizenship and a love of travel Isabella enjoys vacationing in Switzerland and Croatia and speaks some German, Croatian and French. In 2018 Isabella underwent her third spinal cord untethering surgery where she had to re-learn how to walk and was wheelchair bound for several months and in 2020 she endured a foot reconstruction prodcedure. Isabella is a young advocate for children with disabilities, her favorite charities are Ronald McDonald House and Starlight Children’s Foundation.
