Sandy was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. Her love for performing began at an early age with dance classes, piano and voice lessons, and participation in community theater.
She then made her way to Princeton, NJ to study music at Westminster Choir College, where she earned her Bachelor of Music in Music Education and Music Theater with a Voice Primary and Piano Secondary. While there, she had the honored privilege to sing at Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall in New York City, and at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia with the Westminster Symphonic Choir. Once she completed her undergraduate degree, Sandy relocated to New York City for graduate school at the Actors Studio Drama School, where she earned her Master of Fine Arts in Acting.
