Talented Jainmy Isabel Martinez was born June 6th, 1977, in Santo Domingo, The Dominican Republic. She grew up in the historic capital city under the guiding hands of her mother, grandmother and two aunts, in a traditional Catholic home that emphasized morality, family values and kindness toward all people. The loving environment of her youth has served Jainmy well, remaining the foundation of her adult life - as a strong, Christian woman and proud mother of a ten year-old daughter.
At a young age, Jainmy's thoughts were focused on becoming an entertainer as she watched the American stars of movies and television. As a teenager, Ms. Martinez attended the country's highly-regarded acting and modeling schools, graduating with several honors. She was also a student at Catholic University of Santo Domingo (Universidad Catolica de Santo Domingo). She studied dance, chiefly jazz, at the prestigious Ritmos Espacio de Danza, ultimately mastering several styles, including salsa and merengue.
Jainmy experienced success at an early age, landing runway and print modeling assignments, in addition to television commercial work. Along with modeling in national magazines like OH! and Isabella, and representing one of the nation's largest department stores, she won co-starring roles in two Dominican mini-series, "Al Filo de la Vida" and "Las Mil Caras del Engano." She was well on her way to becoming a household name in her Caribbean homeland.
Most models and actresses would have been satisfied with the many accomplishments Jainmy could claim at a very young age, but not her. She took the daring, but calculated, step of advancing her career, and relocated to the United States. As soon as she arrived in America, her future grew even brighter. With her modeling and acting successes on her already impressive resume, she began finding full-time work as an agency model in New York City, representing such diverse clients as Mercedes-Benz, Chivas Regal, Dove Chocolate and Jose Cuervo. Since arriving in the U.S., she has also modeled for Latina Magazine and All You Magazine. This in-demand beauty stayed busy not only working, but also as a student at the famed New York Film Academy.
Combining her television and modeling experience, and knowledge gained as an astute NYFA student, Jainmy Martinez developed that special on-screen mix few actresses do - sexy and smart. New York City was proving to be just the place for her as she began appearing in films and television, including A&E's Watching The Detectives and Oxygen's Cinematherapy.
Drawing on contemporary inspirations Charlize Theron and Hilary Swank, Jainmy's primary focus is acting, though she is still busy managing commercial print-modeling requests. She was a recent guest on The Tyra Banks Show, and in 2008 was chosen as one of the finalists on VH1's Viva Hollywood (where she filmed the now infamous "death scene").
Through sacrifice, ambition and faith, attractive Jainmy Martinez - actress, model and dancer - has become one of New York's - and Hollywood's - rising stars.
