Biography

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S., Knickerbocker earned a degree and originally moved to Los Angeles to work in fashion design. [3] [4] [5] However, she attended a "trial day at a fashion company", describing the experience as horrible, saying: "They were sitting me in front of a computer and I was doing CAD work. And I sat in my car at lunch. It was just such a strong, you know, when you get like this big no from inside. Like you're like, no, this isn't for me." [4] This led to her quitting on the same day. [3] [4] Knickerbocker then went on Craigslist to search for a new career and "saw an acting gig, submitted, and booked it". [3] This led to her pursuing a voice acting job in Los Angeles. [3]

She is currently based in Los Angeles. [6] [5]
