Eliza Ibarra watched her share of porn before she started doing it herself. In fact, the native of Riverside, Calif., said she knew of some of her fellow Spiegler Girls before she signed with the elite talent agency.

“Absolutely,” Ibarra told AVN. “Most of them I was really familiar with, like Asa [Akira] and Riley [Reid]. They really made a name for themselves not just because of what they do, but also because they’re really good people and they actually make a business out of their name.”

The 21-year-old Mexican-American beauty, who pulled stints at Pizza Hut and Harley Davidson before coming to Porn Valley, now is well on her way to making her own impact on the adult industry. She’s already drawn at least one comparison to Reid, the 2016 AVN Female Performer of the Year.

“I like to try new things. It’s exciting for me,” she says.
