ARISTAIA

Actor

Aristaia Yanakakis-Carroll was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. She started her career as a dancer and danced ballet for 12 years. After countless performances of The Nutcracker, she realized the acting was what she most loved about the show.

Eventually, she made her way to the stage, performing in countless plays and musicals. She joined improv troupes and competed in one-act contests all over Massachusetts.

In 2021, Aristaia moved over two thousand miles from Boston to Los Angeles to study theatre at The University of Southern California. There she has performed in various workshops and shows. Aristaia is wrapping up her senior year, and will graduate in May of 2025!
