Anna Konkle is an actress, writer, director, and producer known for her work in television and film. Konkle attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, initially focusing on musical theater before transitioning to the Experimental Theater Wing. During her junior year, she participated in an international experimental theater program in Amsterdam, where she met Maya Erskine, who would later become her collaborator on the television series "PEN15."
Konkle began her career with roles in television series such as "New Girl," "Shameless," and "Ramy." She was a main cast member on "Rosewood" as Tara Milly Izikoff and had a recurring role in the final season of FX's "Baskets."

In addition to "PEN15," Konkle has appeared in film and television projects including the Hulu dark comedy "The Drop," where she played Lex, and the Apple TV+ comedy series "The Afterparty."
