When she was two years old, she and her parents immigrated to the United States as refugees from antisemitism, settling in West Hollywood, California. She started acting in Mattel Barbie commercials at age five, in part to mitigate her family's financial problems.

She studied improv comedy with the Upright Citizens Brigade.
