Soleil was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and raised in a first-generation, Mexican-American household. She has always held storytelling close, through theatre and through mariachi music. 

 

Graduating high school, Soleil moved across the country to receive her BFA in Acting from the University of Michigan and to become among the first in her family to earn a college degree. 

 

Soleil is now based in Chicago, where she is represented by Grossman & Jack Talent. She is currently understudying for Steppenwolf's world premiere production of a home what howls, and recently earned a "Performer in a Principal Role" Jeff Award Nomination for her work in Agnes of God at Redtwist Theatre.
