Biography

My name is Katricia Kariuki, but I go by Coco Kariuki on screen. I'm an actor with a deep love for storytelling and bringing complex characters to life. I trained at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in both Los Angeles and New York, where I honed my craft under some of the best in the industry.

I've had the opportunity to work on projects like Original Killing, Nyumbani, Broken Threads, and Cradle of Doom, each one pushing me to grow as an artist. Acting is a journey of persistence, and I thrive on the challenge-whether it's diving into emotionally demanding roles, perfecting my craft, or pushing through the ups and downs of the industry.

My Kenyan heritage is a big part of who I am, and I love weaving elements of it into my work, whether through language, culture, or the way I approach a role. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and tell stories that resonate, and I'm excited for what's ahead.
