Early life and career
Bobadilla was born in Mexico City in 1993; her family relocated to North Vancouver, British Columbia and then to nearby Coquitlam.[1] She showed an aptitude for performing at an early age, and as well as an affinity for figure skating.

She began auditioning for film and television roles while attending Heritage Woods Secondary School.[4]
In 2008, she won the title of Port Moody Idol. Shortly thereafter, she appeared in guest roles on two Canadian-produced series for The CW, Smallville and Supernatural, later relocating with her family to Los Angeles. She appeared in her first US leading role in the Lifetime movie Lies in Plain Sight, in which she portrayed a 13-year-old blind adolescent. She later appeared on an episode of Lie to Me, as well as the Hallmark Channel's Oliver's Ghost.
In 2012, she was cast as Sam Goodson, the 13-year-old, obsessive-compulsive daughter of Charlie Sheen's character on the FX series Anger Management.[5] The role quickly became Bobadilla's most extensive, when the series was picked up for a continuous, syndicated run of 100 episodes (her character appeared in 55 episodes).
