A native of Petaluma, Alia starred in plays and musicals in her youth then fully devoted herself to dance as a teenager. After receiving a BFA and Gold Medal in Dance in NYC, she spent the next decade in Manhattan and the UK working as a dancer, choreographer, yoga teacher, actor and singer/songwriter. Besides her eclectic working life in the performing arts, Alia also works from home in Petaluma as a writer, voice actor, and the mother of a hilariously insightful 6 year old girl. She is thrilled to be part of the “For What it’s Worth” team, and especially enjoys being referred to as “the Talent.” 😉
