Elizaveta, whom everyone calls Liza, came to North America 17 years ago from Moscow Russia, where she was born.

Although Liza is a figure skating professional who participated in the 1994 & 1998 Olympics, she had always dreamed of becoming an actor.

This most passsionate dream inspired her to pursue her goal in New York, where she studied the "Organic Creative Process" under the direction of John Strasberg.

Liza has studied with A.C.T. in Ottawa and over the past few years, she has performed roles in independent movies.

Presently, she is an actor and founding member of "Intentional Dreams Productions", a company in Montreal.

She describes the process of finding her characters liberating and it simply brings the real artist out in her.

"My hope for the aspiring actor is that no matter what is going on in their lives, they never stop dreaming."
