Sumi Yu is a full-time professional actress working on stage and in TV/Film. Currently residing in NYC, she is a proud member of AEA and SAG-AFTRA and has performed at many prestigious theaters including Lincoln Center Theater and New York City Center. 

In today’s episode, Sumi discusses how she chose a college program that would support not just her resume but her overall wellbeing, what she loved and what she’d change about her training experiences, and the importance of therapy and other tools to support our professional journeys. 

She also expresses how her professional jobs can’t be her measure of success and worth, how we can celebrate who we are and let that be our guide through the industry, and even shares the story of her most embarrassing audition for a Broadway show.
