She rose to fame in MTV's comedy "The Club", where she played series regular Tamara for five seasons. This led to her most acclaimed role to date, Lana, in "Diversant 2". The year 2006 found Sabina continuing her studies at the Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles. A versatile actor, Sabina has recently played Goneril in William Shakespeare's "King Lear" at the Strasberg's Marilyn Monroe Theatre, and can be next seen as Amy in the independent feature "Taxi Man".
