Whit Kunschik was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She is of Native American, Czechoslovakian and Swedish descent. Raised in a small town with her mother, step-father, and two sisters, her love for film began at a young age when she received her first video camera at the age of 11, piquing her curiosity into filmmaking. She excelled in arts and and athletics, and received a scholarship to play college basketball and would later transfer to the University of Central Oklahoma where she studied Broadcasting and minored in History of Film. Upon graduating she relocated to New York where she studied Meisner Technique and worked on various music videos, commercials, and short films. She has since relocated to Los Angeles and studies at the Bojesse Christopher Truth Be told Actors Collective, a studio where a select group of emerging and notable actors come together each week, surrendering to emotional journey into self discovery, while experimenting with the combined components of Stanislavski's Preparation of Building a Character along with Meisner's Repetition Exercise.
