Hi! I’m Kya
I have just graduated with my MFA in Acting from the University of California, San Diego. I'm a very proud Brooklyn girl —who has secretly become a SoCal convert- after graduating Suma Cum laude from Pomona College with dual degrees in Clinical Neuropsychology and Theatre.
Offstage, I am an educator at UCSD, teaching Public Speaking and Acting courses to talented undergraduates. I freelance as a teaching artist offering instruction in acting, public speaking, dance, and audition prep.
Most importantly, I am a dog mom who loves eating out at a new restaurant as much as making family recipes, and can always be found close to the dance floor.
Please reach out if you'd like to learn more!

Searching for more to life than his top-of-the-line toaster and hickory golf club ― more meaning ― Babbitt leaps with abandon into the most spectacular rebellion of his life ― one that could end up costing him everything.
