Growing up one of four girls, Mimi had to act up to stand out. Her flair for the dramatic (and fear of jumping from the diving board in swim class) landed her in her first acting class at age ten. Since then, Mimi has completed acting training at William Esper Studio's two-year conservatory training program, where she studied the Meisner technique under Barbara Marchant. In addition, she studied playwrighting with Jeremy Kareken and earned an associate's degree from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in acting. Mimi also graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science.

She currently lives in New York City and LA with her husband and their adorable Goldendoodle, Griffin.
