Headhunted by the Stella Adler Acting Conservatory for their graduate program while taking a class there, Rovinsky's talent was apparent and after graduating she further honed her skills on stage and in film.

In recent years Rovinsky's acting career has expanded to include several high profile independent films, which have met with acclaim at various film festivals. Utilizing her multi-lingual skills, Rovinsky has also starred in a number of independent and short films in Sweden, one of which, Rest (2009), has been available on TiVO in the States.

Rovinsky is as much at home in drama as in comedy, and is a core member of the NYC-based sketch comedy group The Shorts Show.
