About Me
Samarys Barbot Arroyo
I’m a Puerto Rican actress, model, and host, passionate about creating meaningful connections through art, storytelling, and purpose.
Born and raised in Jayuya, I began my journey inspired by a love for creativity, expression, and community. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts in Education and Theater, which has strengthened my skills and passion for the performing arts.
On screen, I host my segment De Aquí Pa’ Ti on Viva la Tarde (WAPA TV), connecting with audiences through stories, lifestyle, and culture. I’m also the author of Aura y su esponjoso tesoro (a children book), creating stories that inspire, entertain, and celebrate culture, imagination, and identity.
Beyond that, I founded Gente Linda PR, empowering youth through art and education and creating lasting impact across Puerto Rico. Today, I continue to grow as a multidisciplinary artist, collaborating with brands, leading workshops, and using my voice to inspire, represent, and make a difference.
