My name is Alaysia Penso; I fell in love with acting when I was 12 years old and have been doing it since. While acting is my focus, I am also a writer, dancer, and academic. I studied political philosophy as well as theatre arts at Brandeis University. I am currently working on my Masters of Fine Arts degree at Rose Bruford International Drama School.
Location: London, UK
