Natasha Ross discovered her love for performance early in life. As an only child, her vivid imagination became an escape, and she spent hours singing, acting, and dancing in her own world. Though shy as a child, her passion for performing grew stronger in high school, where she joined the Hawkes Bay Youth Drama School and met talented actors like Bruno Lawrence, who helped shape her career aspirations.

In recent years, Natasha has become best known for her stage work, the latest being the Auckland Fringe production of The Hand that Locks the Holding Pen by emerging NZ playwright Faith Ward. Her performances are praised for their emotional depth and authenticity, and she is known for bringing complex, grounded characters to life.
