Biography
A New York City native, born and raised in the Bronx, Misha is a storyteller whose journey spans from New York City to Germany, and ultimately Hollywood. With extensive credits on stage, television, and in film, Misha's contributions as a multi-hyphenate artist reflect her talent, resilience, and unwavering commitment to telling authentic stories while blending her rich American/Caribbean roots with powerful, universally resonant narratives.
A graduate from Performing Arts High School in NYC, she later earned a BA from Cornell University and went on to earn an MBA abroad in Heidelberg, Germany. Although English is her native language she speaks both Spanish and German languages.
After a six-year absence from New York and acting to earn her MBA and work overseas, she returned to New York City to resume a career in acting. After one pilot season in LA, the move out West was inevitable. Alongside theater credits, she has accumulated numerous dramatic and comedic credits in television and film: namely in True Blood, This Is Us, American Horror Stories, Grey's Anatomy, How To Get Away with Murder, St. Denis Medical and The Pitt.
Her passion for characters, storytelling, coupled with writing, culminated in her writing a one-woman-show in 2016. The Equity production of "Hummingbird" was well received in Los Angeles and had a successful off-Broadway run in 2023. "Hummingbird" premiered at New York's 2023 Solo United Festival with honorable mention for its script, and an original song written by Misha. Her most recent writing credit is on the short film "La Luz".
Misha is a proud member of the American Legion Auxiliary (Hollywood Post-43) and Latinas Acting Up ("LAU"), the latter being a community created, national organization which aims to promote representation, opportunities and fair treatment of American/Latinas in the entertainment industry.
Misha enjoys bi-coastal living (LA & NYC) and adores her Shepherd/Terrier rescue, Dolly.
