Cassandra DeFreitas is an actor working in Austin, TX. Her acting career has been marked with broken and misunderstood characters. It was clear from the start that Cassandra was blessed with two basic qualities: unabridged passion and the inability to nap.

 

From humble beginnings, she learned about life as a mixed race woman. And she learned how to channel her passion into drive. It is that very drive that has carried her to where she is now.
