She now pursues comedy at the Groundlings and the Upright Citizen's Brigade, while also hitting up popular comic joints for stand-up including, The Laugh Factory, The Improv, and The Comedy Union.

She recently performed in CBS's Multicultural Sketch Comedy Showcase, after which she landed herself an agent and a quick spot on the really scary series on CBS, Criminal Minds. She is currently shooting this film, obviously, as well as producing a comedic sitcom for the web.

Kosha is represented by Patrick Welborn at AKA.
