Arloa was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and grew up all over the world, living in Europe, Asia and much of the United States.  Performing is in her blood—her father was the lead guitarist and singer of a rock and roll band, her mother dabbled in modeling and acting and her grandmother is a singer.  At the age of four, Arloa played the Virgin Mary in her church play and knew then she would grow up to be an actress.  Her first paying gig was in High School as an actress and host on a national television show for two years while her family was stationed in Korea.

After High School, she moved to New York, studied with Bill Esper, worked in theatre and landed her first US television role on the soap opera, Another World.  Shortly after the soap ended, Arloa booked back-to-back roles in two feature films which took her from New York to Los Angeles.  Since her move to the West coast, she has had major roles in shows for the Sci-Fi Channel, Fox, NBC, Comedy Central and the N Channel, as well as leads in several other feature films.  Arloa has had the great pleasure to work with some of the most talented actors in Hollywood, including Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, Matt LeBlanc and Blair Underwood.
