Valentina Zenere (born 15 January 1997) is an Argentine actress, model and singer, known for her portrayal of Ámbar Smith on the Disney Channel series Soy Luna and on Juacas, where she appeared as the same character. She has also played Alai Inchausti on the Argentine telenovela Casi Ángeles. Since 2022, she has portrayed Isadora Artiñán Goldstein on the Netflix series Elite.

Life and career

Valentina was born to Sergio Zenere, a businessman from Italian origin and Nadia Zenere, a lawyer from Ukrainian origin. She has a younger sister, Luciana Zenere

Zenere started working in television at a young age, appearing on various television commercials. Her career ultimately began while she was still attending high school (class of 2014). In 2010, aged just 13, Zenere auditioned for, and won, the role of Alai Inchausti on the popular Argentine telenovela Casi Ángeles; this role and subsequent exposure enabled her to take on various small roles and cameos both on television and in stage productions. Most notable was her appearance in a production of Les Misérables.

In 2016, upon graduating high school, Zenere rose to international attention when the original series Soy Luna premiered on Disney Channel Latin America; her portrayal of the antagonist Ámbar Smith received critical and commercial acclaim. She further reprised the role of Ámbar on the Portuguese-language Disney Channel (Brazil) series Juacas. She has maintained close relationships with many of her co-stars, including Eugenia Suárez, Michael Ronda, Carolina Kopelioff, Gastón Vietto, Malena Ratner, and Oriana Sabatini. In 2019, Zenere starred in Ronda's music video "La Diva de la Escuela".

In 2020, Zenere appeared on the fifth season of the Spanish-language Netflix series Cable Girls, becoming a part of the cast. She was further recognized internationally for her portrayal of Isadora in Netflix's critically-acclaimed crime drama Elite.

Zenere currently resides in Madrid, Spain.
