Aloha! Lea is a NYC-based actor and teaching artist. She was born in Honolulu and grew up in both Hawaii and Ogunquit, Maine. 

 

Lea is inspired by the imperfection, mess, and raw beauty of humanity. She strives for truth and inclusivity through storytelling. Her theatre work has taken her around the country. Recent regional highlights: 4,000 Miles at The Westport Country Playhouse, Oleanna and Private Lives with Katonah Classic Stage (company member since inception), Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker (Judson Theatre Co), and Rosalind in As You Like It (Texas Shakespeare Festival).
