Hi I'm Esther (they/them)! I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I moved to the U.S with my family at eight years old. I'm fluently bilingual which means they've always got  the hottest gossip in both Korean and English

 

I graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre in method acting and Film Institute and Stonestreet Studios.

Since graduating I have been working on everything from films, commercials, to plays.  Most recently/notably:

NBC's Law & Order, IT Cosmetics, GEICO.

 

I also write and direct! My film Blue Hour is an Official Selection of, the Canadian Screen Award qualifying, New York Shorts International Film Festival.

When I'm not doing all these things, you can probably find me napping with my cat, Olive, or making my miso cream pasta recipe (the key is in finding the right miso to heavy cream ratio.)
