Career
Lozano landed the role of attorney Téa Delgado in December 1996 on the daytime drama One Life to Live, and first aired on January 27, 1997. The character became one of soap opera's most popular creations,[2][6][7][8] and earned Lozano a loyal following.[6] In 2002, almost two years after her departure from the series, Lozano was still receiving a significant amount of fan mail for her portrayal of the character.[6] "I so appreciate that love coming at me," she said. "The response to Téa still overwhelms me."[6] She further relayed, "I left because I wanted to try other things. I really want to do more theater, film and television other than the soap. When you're doing a soap, it is really hard to do other things. It just takes so much of your time."[6]

To prepare for the roles, Lozano – who had lived in Manhattan for 15 years – visited the homicide division of her local police precinct. "I've been hanging out with cops, and they've been so wonderful," she said. "One of them, Irma Rivera, and I have become friends. She introduced me to a
When Lozano acquired the lead role in The Ministers, opposite John Leguizamo and Harvey Keitel, she was again prepared.[11] Filmed in February 2007, the crime thriller is about a female NYPD detective (Lozano) who tries to avenge the murder of her police officer father by what she presumed to be a cult. But unwittingly, she falls for one of the killers (Leguizamo) in the process. "Harvey plays my partner – he used to be my father's partner," Lozano stated.[11] A fan of Leguizamo, Lozano was excited to work with him. "He was cracking jokes, and we were always busting on each other," said Lozano. "I felt really comfortable with him."[11]
The opportunity to carry a film was a longtime goal for Lozano, who enjoyed the experience. "It's really a great feeling when your dreams come true. It may sound cheesy but I was like, 'Wow, I got what I wanted!'" she stated.[11] "My training in theater and daytime really paid off – I have never appreciated being on a soap as much as I do now, because we moved very fast on this movie."[11]
Lozano still looks to do more theater and is also pursuing television opportunities.[11] Queried on whether she would ever reprise her role of Téa on One Life to Live, she stated, "I will never close any door, especially not a door that has been so wonderful for me to walk through."[11]
In September 2008,
In 2016, Lozano was cast in a series regular role for the second season in the Netflix crime drama series Narcos playing agent Claudia Messina.[15]
