Kambra Lee Potter was born and raised in Elk City, Oklahoma. She is an actress,entertainment show host, emcee, journalist, pageant consultant, commercial print model, former Miss Oklahoma Teen and former Miss Oklahoma, who resides in Southern California and is actively pursuing her passion for film acting. She is a self-proclaimed Oklafornian.Kambra discovered her interest in the entertainment industry when she was 13- years-old. Although she claims to have been kind of a tomboy as a kid, in 2003 Kambra began competing in the National American Miss pageant. She placed 2nd runner-up to Miss Oklahoma Pre-teen and also placed 4th runner-up in the pageant's optional acting competition.Later that year, Kambra traveled to California for the first time and competed in the National pageant in Anaheim, where she placed in the top 10. She says she weirdly felt like California was where she belonged, and despite being only 13-years-old, she determined she would one day make Southern California her home.Kambra continued to compete in the National American Miss Oklahoma pageant every year until 2008, when she was named Miss Oklahoma Teen. In 2010, she became Miss Oklahoma and placed 3rd runner-up at the National pageant. She also placed in the top 5 for the Actress competition every year she competed, and she won Best Actress multiple times during those years.Kambra used the title of Miss Oklahoma 2010, to orchestrate a fund-raiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma. She raised over $9,500 by holding a putt-putt golf tournament in her hometown.Kambra accredits her love of performance and acting to her pageant experiences and believes they instilled in her the confidence to discover and pursue her dream of becoming a professional actress.Kambra attended acting and modeling classes at John Casablancas in Oklahoma City and later attended an international model and talent convention expo in Dallas, Texas, where she was awarded the Best Overall Junior Female Actor Award for her combined scores from her monologue, cold reading and two-person scene performances.In 2008, Kambra graduated high school, packed up her car and began her journey to California. She attended San Diego State University, where she majored in broadcast journalism and minored in sociology. After taking an acting-on-camera class at SDSU, her passion for acting was reignited. She has also attended John Robert Powers and has taken classes with Tom Logan DGA, Sam Warren CSA,Lorenzo Rodriguez, Bob Luke and many others.Kambra began actively pursuing her acting career in 2012 when she signed with a San Diego-based talent manager. Since then, she has landed lead roles in numerous indie films, student films for SDSU, UCSD, Point Loma Nazarene University, and others, as well as local and regional commercials. She's also had several background roles for network TV shows including Go On, 90210 and Mistresses, and she was featured in a scene with Dennis Quaid on CBS's Vegas.She previously co-hosted an entertainment radio show for KCR Radio and serves as an on-camera host for That's My Entertainment's "The Biz." She hosted the San Diego Film Festival and San Diego Asian Film Festival for That's My Entertainment in 2012. Kambra is also an emcee for several state-wide pageant competitions, which she enjoys very much as it gives her an opportunity to use both her love of acting and her Bachelor's degree in journalism.Kambra's passion for acting is grounded in her desire to live life to the fullest and experience the most out of life. She loves having the ability to tell a story and bring a character and a director's vision to life through film. She enjoys the careful preparation and character analysis process of acting because it enables her to experience situations and people she might never personally encounter. As an actor she can play a prom queen one day and an FBI agent the next. She finds this to be a very exciting element of the industry. Her dedication to the art of acting inspires her to pursue television, film and commercial acting as a full-time career.
