Beyond acting, Sascha runs KNOPFoto, a business where she produces, coaches, and photographs actors, helping them discover their voice, improve their craft, and secure roles.
An ardent animal advocate, she dedicates time outside of her career to rescuing animals and advocating for those without a voice, working to reveal systemic issues and promote meaningful reform. She is also the godmother to Lizzie, a disabled rescue duck residing at Funky Chicken Sanctuary in Vacaville.
Living in Los Angeles with her rescue dog Lincoln and two cockatiels, Sascha continues to infuse her work with a blend of artistry, compassion, and conviction.
