Elisa Tarquinio

Elisa Tarquinio was born and raised on Long Island, New York. Elisa started performing as a competitive dancer, but soon found her passion for singing and acting in theater and film. During her teenage years, it became clear to Elisa that she was going to pursue performing as a career. After graduating from Mount Sinai High School, she attended NYU Tisch School of the Arts for a B.F.A in Acting. She spent her four years as a student studying theater at The Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute, on-camera acting at Stonestreet Studios Residency Program, and received two additional degrees in Entertainment Business and Producing from the NYU Film and TV program. Elisa is now a full time artist based in New York. She believes having an understanding on how each piece of this industry works not only allows a team to run smoothly, but it will create respect for the work being done around others. She believe telling stories are a way of opening minds, creating empathy for others, and fulfilling an urgency to make a change in our own reality.
