Simone’s passion for acting was evident from a young age when she began studying Improv, Movement and Voice at the Neighborhood Playhouse.  From there, she continued cultivating her craft as a drama major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art & the Performing Arts (the "Fame" school), a Presidential Arts Scholar in Acting at The George Washington University and a conservatory trainee at The British American Dramatic Academy in London, England.  Simone has put her years of training to good use originating parts and mastering the classics.  Whether it’s working with budding playwrights in New York and DC, or on short films, or training at the UCB, Simone can’t imagine doing anything but acting.  She is currently training with Tom Lock.  Simone was thrilled to be working with her friends at ArtEffects on "Kidnapping Carl" an independent short film that was featured in the 2014 Manhattan Film Festival.
