Hi! I'm Sheena Santamaria, a Filipina American comedy writer and SAG-AFTRA actor based in Los Angeles. I'm originally from Orange County, CA and love to write stories that make you feel like you just had your favorite comfort food (mine's arroz caldo).

​

I was a writer on Maude Night at the Upright Citizens Brigade and have written sketches for Filipino AF and Gaysian AF. I wrote on several romance audio dramas for Pocket FM, which have garnered over 2 million listens. I'm also a former mentee of the Women in Animation Mentorship Circle program.

​

My original comedic pilots have placed in competitions such as the Austin Film Festival and Final Draft Big Break.​ When I'm not writing, I listen to k-pop, root for the Dodgers and Lakers, and play video games such as Stardew Valley.
