She grew up studying tap, jazz, and modern dance. She sang in the Peabody Children's Chorus, and studied violin at the Peabody Institute for seven years. She performed in local musicals in the Baltimore area and began traveling to New York City to work with a vocal coach and to study acting. From there she started doing commercial, voiceover and film work.

 

In High School Louisa attended the Professional Children's School in New York.
