Shiona Lee, also known as "Sharon," is a writer and actress who divides her time between Los Angeles and Seoul. With a bachelor's degree in Theatre from the University of Richmond, she has furthered her studies at Goldsmiths College in London, IDSA, and UCLA, training under respected professionals like Larry Silverberg.

Starting off as a playwright and director, Shiona creates compelling narratives exploring identity and belonging, drawing from her experiences as a global nomad and third culture kid.

Her creative journey was influenced by her father's recovery from a brain injury, inspiring her to break free from generational patterns and pursue a path blending artistic expression with personal growth.

Shiona's diverse skill set includes:

  • Acting in films, commercials, and voice-over projects

  • Writing poetry and plays

  • Enneagram coaching and elderly counseling

  • Teaching aerial yoga

Her upcoming poetry collection, Searching Home, reflects on her global travels and invites readers to explore themes of self-discovery and connection.

Shiona's acting career includes national commercials for AAA, Apple Game, and Wee Delivery, as well as a role in Warner Brothers' Vacation Friends 2. She received the PIFF Best Actress Award at the 2024 Pasadena Film Festival for her performance in Hello, Goodbye.

When not working, Shiona enjoys baking plant-based treats, reading, and spending time outdoors. She believes in the power of genuine connections and the wisdom gained through life's challenges.
