Jeanine Robinson brings a truly global perspective to her acting, thanks to a childhood spent as a ""military brat"" in places like Hawaii, Germany, New Mexico, New Hampshire, and California. While she currently resides in New York City, she considers the Bay Area her hometown and is a Warriors basketball fan. Jeanine made a significant career pivot, leaving a fifteen-plus-year career in Silicon Valley Sales to pursue her passion for the arts. She dedicated herself to training, studying vocal performance and acting at the prestigious American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) in San Francisco. On stage, her powerful presence has been seen nationwide, including in the national tour of Ragtime (Sarah's Friend) and in acclaimed regional productions as the soulful MotorMouth Maybelle in Hairspray and Mama Euralie in Once on this Island. She also works extensively in commercial voice-over and has appeared in national commercials. Off-stage, Jeanine is a lover of international travel, cooking, comedy, dogs, and great stories across every medium-always best enjoyed with a glass of champagne.
