A Shinnecock storyteller who grew up on a reservation in the Hamptons, Andrina is a graduate of Emerson College, where she majored in Theatre Studies with an emphasis in SocialChange. Her work often focuses on the complexity of racial identity, through a comedic lens. Andrina was a New York Foundation of the Arts Grant Recipient for Screenwriting (2022), a Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Inductee (2022), and a Native American Media Alliance Fellow (2021). She was the sole writer on TIME Studios’ Emmy-nominated immersive VR experience, MLK: TIME IS NOW. Andrina recently sold a show, based on her life story, to ABC Network (via ABC Signature, now 20th) under Kerry Washington’s Simpson Street Banner. Prior to relocating to Los Angeles for the program, Andrina lived in Brooklyn, NY, on the unceded territory of the Rockaway and Canarsie people. Keep up the great work, Andrina!
