All About Charisse

An artist at heart, Charisse Mordeno likes to spend her spare time either sketching, writing, or composing songs on the piano or guitar.  She would never pass up an opportunity to skateboard, snowboard, or boogie board, and positively loves "everything Disney."

Born and raised in Los Angeles, she can speak English and Tagalog fluently, and is well-versed in Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese.  She enjoys swimming, playing tennis and golf, and considers herself a true Los Angeles Lakers Fan.

An avid mover and shaker, she is an achiever in her academic and social ventures.  Now she is in the spotlight as well. Aside from singing and acting,
she is also into dancing, mainly cha-cha, and the Manila Swing, but she can also tap, ballet, or boogie down with anyone.  In addition, she is currently studying kickboxing and hip-hop dance.

Though it may seem a bit wayward from her plans to be a star, Charisse wishes to pursue a philanthropic/humanitarian lifestyle in the United States, and abroad.  This aspiring young actress graduated from performing arts conservatory in 2002, and as a student at UC Irvine, she is majoring in Psychology/Social Behavior.

She hopes to write a book on her thoughts on the "collective pre-existing theories of child development, and the effects of genetics on behavior and temperament."  She prays faithfully that soon, she can develop a culturally empowering career both in the entertainment business and in the medical world.

Under the encouragement of her exceptionally supportive mother, she believes that it is essential to be a positive representative of the community, and eagerly waits for opportunities for her to fulfill this admirable mission.
