Next person biography:
Alina was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. At the tender age of five, she was invited to attend the prestigious Music Academy, a part of the College of Music, and shortly after, a Dance school. This dual pursuit of music and dance was merely the beginning of her artistic journey, as she simultaneously started participating in acting competitions, winning first place on numerous occasions.
It was during one of these competitions that she met the Principle of the top acting school in town, Litseum of the Arts, which was founded on the Stanislavski system of comprehensive acting education. At this esteemed institution, Alina studied a wide range of subjects, including speech, improv, movement for actors, directing, philosophy, psychology, literature, ethics, aesthetics, history of theater, and multiple languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, German, English, and Hebrew.
Notable actors served as guest teachers at the school, and it partnered with the best theaters in town to produce various productions. Alina was a part of such classics as Joan of Arc, House of Bernanda Alba, and Gone with the Wind, among others. Upon graduating from both the Litseum of the Arts and Music School, she was the only individual from both schools to be accepted into the University of the Dramatic Arts. However, her family's decision to move to the United States led her to leave the Ukraine.
Upon her arrival in Tucson, Arizona, Alina decided to attend high school, seeking to understand the psychology of the American people. She had already graduated high school in the Ukraine at a young age. Concurrently, she was accepted into the Drama Department of Pima College, as she already possessed a high school diploma from the Ukraine. During one of her acting classes in college, she was offered a role in the Romeo and Juliet production at the Borderlands Theater. Shortly after, she was invited to attend the American Music Dramatic Academy in New York, but respectfully declined, opting instead to pursue her Bachelor's Degree from the University of Arizona.
To support herself during her studies, Alina engaged in various creative endeavors, including modeling, acting in movies and commercials, makeup artistry, styling, store and window design, and more. After graduating from the University of Arizona with honors, she relocated to Los Angeles.
Throughout her life, Alina has been driven by a passion for the arts and a desire to be surrounded by creativity. She has successfully explored multiple creative fields, but her true calling has always been film and theater. Her ultimate goal is to inspire and enlighten people through the arts, which she pursues with unwavering dedication.
