Louisa, born on June 12, 1991, initially pursued a different career path before embracing her passion for acting. She graduated from Vassar College with a degree in psychology and worked in advertising for two years.
However, the call of the stage was too strong to ignore. She later graduated from the Yale School of Drama and went on to perform in various theater productions, including "Romeo and Juliet" at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre.
