Yardén’s journey began in Tel Aviv, Israel, where she was born. At the age of 5, Yardén moved across the world to Houston, Texas with her mother, where she began a new chapter of her life. After trying just about every hobby her mother could think of (from pottery to hula dance to gymnastics to horseback-riding), Yardén quite accidentally stumbled upon theatre. Forced to sign up for an arts elective in middle school, Yardén found herself in Theatre I, with no idea what to expect. A few years of theatre classes later, she realized that she had no intention of ever stopping.
