Sophia Giovanis is a Greek-American dual citizen, from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Known by many as “Gio”, Sophia hates the nickname Sophie. This is important. Beginning as an MT superstar at the ripe age of 13 years old, Sophia developed vocal nodules, rotating her focus towards the magical world of speech and debate. And it was through the many NFL tournaments where Sophia discovered she carried a natural knack for performing. Thus, Sophia transferred high schools from Orono Public High School to St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists where she graduated. Immediately bouncing over to New Brunswick, New Jersey, Sophia studied Meisner at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts. However, all this time, Sophia was funny too! Through her years training, she spent many hours outside the classroom throwing parties, writing sketch and performing improv at The PIT, playing soccer, and working in various bars, restaurants, and call centers! Due to her father, she visits his homeland of Greece quite often to brush up on her Greek, eat the best cuisine in the world, and spend time with family. She is energized by people, by joy, by storytelling.
