A Chicago native, Francesca grew up training all around the area, including at Joyce and Byrne Piven's Theatre Workshop, The Joel Hall Dance Studio, and at Northwestern University's voice department.  After high school, she lived in London and Oxford training at the British American Drama Academy, finally landing at the USC School of Dramatic Arts as an Acting major with a minor in Musical Theatre.  Francesca is now working in Film and TV, based in Los Angeles, but traveling back and forth to NY where she recurs as "Parker" in the CBS drama God Friended Me. 

Francesca speaks Mandarin Chinese, trains in Muay Thai, sings opera, is an avid baker, and one of the biggest Star Trek nerds you'll ever meet!
