There is a lot of that goes into the auditioning process, which is what Isabella Ferreira expected when she was asked to go audition for a role in the final season of Orange Is the New Black, by her agency.
She auditioned for the role of Eva Diaz in the show, and two days after the audition, the actress got the call saying she got the role. Isabella was feeling nervous about the audition because she was 16 years old and was asked to play 13 years old. Still, the experience was unique and rare for the actress, who was pleasantly surprised by her hiring.
Isabella looks back fondly on her time working on the show, and one of her favorite moments as a performer came in the series.

Considering the actress has been involved in four different projects in three years, this can change over time, but appearing in a beloved show with lauded performers was a good experience for the actress.
