Early life

Pressman was born in British Hong Kong to a British father and a Filipino mother from Isabela. Her second name, Isabel, is a reference to her mother's home province. Pressman has four sisters: Abby, Cara, Siobhan and Issa.[2]

Career

Best known for her breakthrough role in Ang Probinsyano as Alyanna R. Arevalo-Dalisay, the wife of Cardo, Yassi has made a mark in Philippine showbusiness not only as a versatile actress, but as a gifted singer and terrific dancer. Yassi can regularly be seen not only on TV series but on variety shows, blockbuster movies and multiple product endorsement ads.

In 2006, she was cast in the ABS-CBN drama series Gulong ng Palad as the young Luisa.

In 2009 she signed up as a Viva Artists Agency and Viva Entertainment contract star and became a regular GMA Network talent as one of the female dancers of SOP. Pressman was known as the "Princess of the Dance Floor" of Party Pilipinas. When SOP was replaced by Party Pilipinas, Pressman became a part of Sayaw Pilipinas.

Yassi was also one of the top VJs at MTV and appeared in many online shorts.

In 2014, she was cast as Lorraine "Lory" Keet in the film Diary ng Panget with Andre Paras as her on-screen partner. Pressman also starred as Audrey Dela Cruz in the film Talk Back, and You're Dead.

In 2016, Pressman transferred to ABS-CBN as a housemate in Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7. She also became a regular performer in ASAP and joined the longest running teleserye on Philippine television, the teleserye adaptation of FPJ's Ang Probinsyano.[3][4]

Personal life

Yassi is very socially aware and holds multiple charity projects every time she celebrates birthdays and holidays.[5][6][7]

On February 6, 2020, Yassi's father, Ronnie, died at the age of 90 due to various old-age complications.[8]
