Ushkowitz is best known for playing Tina Cohen-Chang on the Emmy nominated FOX TV series, "Glee."

She will be soon be seen starring in Tom Gustafson's musical movie, Hello, Again.

She served as the executive producer of the documentary film "Twinsters,"which premiered at Sundance and SXSW.

Her first memoir, "Choosing Glee" was published in 2013; she subsequently launched a podcast called "Infinite Positivities" on which she takes chapters from the book and speaks with actors, authors and experts about how to live life with a positive outlook. Baseball fans may know her as the first host of "Yankees on Deck," a behind-the-scenes show for young audiences on the YES! Network. Her independent film credits include Don Gaille's Babyface, and Georgia Lee's Educated.
