    Matsin initially got into Law School after spending a year studying Political Science. Four years into it, and she was back to her one true love for the Performing Arts, leaving law school for the San Francisco Shelton Studios, before transferring to the Studio A.C.T. program of the prestigious American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.), under the Artistic Direction of Bruce Williams.

    Her directorial debut,"The Lollipop Thief", went on to win the "Best Family Short Film" Award at the 2015 San Diego International Kids' Film Festival. Coincidentally, her screenplay for animation, "The Fairy & The Princess", would win there again a year later, the recipient of the ""Final Draft Best Short Screenplay" Award, upon winning 3rd Place at Scriptamation, and after being nominated at the Back in the Box Festival.

    On the Production side, Matsin has also collaborated on edgy films such as "Too Hip for the Room: The Righteous Reign of Lord Buckley", a documentary Executive Produced by Alex Gibney, and on the award-winning film "Done In" starring Guy Henry ("Harry Potter, "Dolby City"), produced by S.J. Evans at Dark Art Films.

    In 2019, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Under the Stars International Film Festival, for her role as "Ms. Rodaz", in "Playing Ourselves" directed by Nicolas Alayo.

    In addition to her work onscreen and onstage, Matsin is also an accomplished Voice-Over Artist, having dubbed iconic actresses such as Dame Maggie Smith and Olympia Dukakis, just to name a few.
