is a proud Chinese American actor currently based in Los Angeles, California.

Sabrina considers herself a California Girl, even though she is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, she is not a huge fan of rain.

After spending many rainy years in Pittsburgh, she moved to Ithaca, New York to complete her Bachelor of Arts at Cornell University. There, she double-majored in Government and Psychology with minors in Theatre and Inequality Studies. Ithaca taught her that she is also not a huge fan of snow.

Luckily, Sabrina moved to an area much more agreeable to her weather preferences for her Master of Fine Arts degree. She recently graduated from the MFA Acting Program at the University of California, San Diego in June 2023. After graduation, she decided to stay in the sun and split her time between San Diego and Los Angeles.

She is interested in making art that is surprising, irreverent, heartwarming, messy, deeply human, and most importantly — ugly.
