Nelinda grew up in the small beach town of Bradenton, Florida and moved to LA where she was accepted into the USC School of Cinematic Arts. A classically trained actress, Nelinda studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and even performed on the Shakespeare's Globe stage. She has trained at UCBLA and Nerdist School and has performed improv with her group CATBATH! at pretty much every venue this town has to offer. She spent several months writing for the CBS Diversity Showcase. Also, her podcast Historical Hookups was part of the WhoHaha Creators Lab. And she was a finalist actress in the Nosotros Ya Tu Sabes Monologue Slam presented by NBC. Once Patricia Arquette called her cute and Christian Slater introduced himself to her, so she was practically in True Romance.
