About Me

Dakota Jusem-LaPorte is a Boston-based actor and is graduating in May with a BFA in Acting from Western Connecticut State University. While at WCSU, Dakota worked closely with industry professionals such as Tim Howard, Matt Newton, John Hickok, and Scott Wise.

Growing up, Dakota would constantly ask her parents to tell her funny stories, and that love for laughter led her to pursue acting with the intention of making meaningful connections with people through humor. In addition to comedy, Dakota is enthusiastic about stories that center unique and under-acknowledged perspectives while maintaining both thoughtfulness and truthfulness. When she’s not acting, Dakota enjoys Sudoku, sewing, and watching Sci-Fi movies.
