An honors graduate of Brown's Theatre Arts & Performance Studies, Nilla's professional acting career began upon graduating from New York's renowned Maggie Flanigan's 2-Year Meisner Conservatory Program. She apprenticed at the Williamstown Theatre Festival (working with Lewis Black to develop a stand-up comedy routine and with Gregor Paslawsky on clowning). She has trained in Shakespeare and Improv, including in French, at the Sorbonne. She holds a J.D. with honors from UVA Law.
