RESUME & BIO

ABOUT BRI

Briana is an NYC/Hudson Valley-based actor and singer, originally from a small town outside of Fort Worth, Texas where she grew up riding horses, eating queso, and making home movies with her friends. From an early age she began dance lessons, which led her to musicals, then to plays, and finally to her love of film.

She recently graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, receiving a BFA in Drama and a minor in Psychology. During her time at NYU, Briana trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, New Studio on Broadway (MT), and Stonestreet Studios.

Briana is passionate about creating honest, nuanced, and empowered female characters, and looks forward to working with other creatives in the pursuit of storytelling.
