Calis started acting professionally at the age of seven in her native Vancouver, Canada. As a young child she would memorize lines and portray characters she saw on screen as a way of immersing herself into acting education. Never one to shy from self-motivation and passionate dedication, Natasha began competitive soccer at the age of four and studied dance for fourteen years; balancing three of her favorite hobbies throughout her young adult years. Within her acting career, she thrives within drama and thrillers, taking a deep dive into characters with the ability to be vulnerable and showcase raw emotion.
