Ahnnika Velasquez (official name: Ahnnika-Megan Isidro Velasquez) was born in the San Ramon Tri-Valley, east of the San Francisco Bay, California. She is an only child raised solely by her mother since she was born, and she is the youngest of 15 grandchildren.
Ahnnika is an actress and a model. She started her acting career in 2019 in live musical theater with the Bay Area Children's Theater and later auditioned for a role in a streaming app series, which led to filming her first episode in December 2021. After her filming, Ahnnika pursued another opportunity in a movie series with the same streaming app network and has cast in local commercials and prints.
Ahnnika started her modeling career in mid-2021. She modeled clothes from Target, Walmart, and Justice for a social media influencer and has modeled multiple collections on the runway for various fashion designers. She has showcased designs in sleepwear, sports, daily wear, and formal gowns. Most recently, Ahnnika walked the runway at the Sony Hall during NYFW Feb 2024 and modeled a designer's vibrant transformation collection, in which she was also displayed in bright lights on the Times Square billboards.
Since the age of 2, Ahnnika's energetic stage presence has been recognized. Although a generally shy person, she possesses a passion for stage performances and being on camera. At a young age, she has performed in ballet and jazz recitals, increased her strength and confidence through martial arts, and later joined Cheer as an all-star cheerleader. After nearly four seasons in All-Star Cheer and competing across the country, Ahnnika discontinued the sport due to an injury to her ankle. Ahnnika has also supported her community as a Girl Scout at the age of 4 and finished off as a Junior Girl Scout after six years.
With the desire to pursue her acting and modeling careers, Ahnnika, at the age of 11, moved to Los Angeles with her family during the Summer of 2023. Attending her new school, she continues with Choir as her elective in the 7th grade and she has returned to dance joining a competitive Hip Hop team.
