Sol Miranda

Sol Miranda is a Puerto Rican actress. She played "mole woman" Donna Maria Nuñez on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2019). She is an adjunct assistant professor at Hostos Community College and the founder of Embark Peekskill, a nonprofit which supports the arts in Peekskill, New York. Life and career Miranda was born in Puerto Rico. She received a BA in drama from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, and an MFA in acting from the University of California, San Diego. She later moved to Brooklyn, New York City, and worked in English-language Latino theater productions and briefly with the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater. In 1995, she began teaching as an adjunct assistant professor of visual and performing arts at Hostos Community College and in 2004, reintroduced the Hostos Repertory Company. Around 2000, Miranda and her husband moved to Peekskill, New York, as they had heard about the town's burgeoning arts scene, and it was close enough to New York City for Miranda to continue auditioning for roles. Miranda founded Embark Peekskill, a 501(c)(3) organization which supports the development of a performing and literary arts center in the town.
