Stoch’s journey began in Euclid, Ohio, an east side ring suburb of Cleveland, where she grew up. Her childhood was a lot like that of her friends, except for her singular pursuit of a dream she didn’t even know she had - until career day in Mrs. Jackson’s second grade class at Wells Elementary. “Mrs. Jackson had all these jobs written on the board,...
Stoch characterizes herself as shy and quiet in high school - a practical person - but admits at least one friend described her singular pursuit as both brave and bold.

She taught part-time and made ends meet, but says it was low time ...
The AMDA College and Conservatory for the Performing Artsin Los Angeles hired Stoch to teach acting for the camera and theater history. She also teaches at the New York Film Academy and, on occasion, Loyola. Her life wasn’t quite settled, but teaching helped her build a new foundation from which to work. “I’ve been lucky enough to dip my toes back ...
One role she was made to play would help Stoch get back in the game. Stoch joined the third Bill & Ted installment in June 2019. And while a lot has changed in Hollywood, what hasn’t is the dynamic between Stoch and her Bill & Tedco-stars. “When we shot the first one, we were all just starting out, and that was a good way to be on that film.
