About me
View profile
Hi! I’m Karina Kalnyk, an actress from Ukraine, based in Kyiv. I’m 32 years old, fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian. 

My acting journey includes roles in short films, commercials, and voice-over projects. Before pursuing acting full-time, I worked with Ukrainian and international NGOs, leading impactful civic education initiatives for youth. While that chapter was fulfilling, stepping into the world of acting has been a thrilling shift and love every moment of bringing characters to life.

I’m eager to collaborate on meaningful projects and help tell your stories. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
