​Liat is an actor and writer currently living in Iowa City, IA, where she is pursuing an MFA in acting at the University of Iowa under the guidance of Paul Kalina, John Cameron, and Mary Coy. 

Originally from Israel, Liat finished two years of mandatory military service before flying to the United States to attend school. She earned her BA from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, double-majoring in Theatre Arts and Culture Studies and Communication. During her studies, Liat experimented with different types of writing: dramatic, satirical, comedic, and journalistic. She also goofed around a lot as part of an improv and sketch comedy ensemble, which taught her to take what she does very seriously, but take herself significantly less seriously. 

In the United States, Liat has performed at The PIT and The Producer's Club in New York City, Improv Boston, as well as at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. In Tel Aviv, Liat performed at Suzanne Dellal.
