In addition, she appeared as Glinda in the national tour of "Wicked" and as Cindy Lou Huffington in the off-Broadway final cast of "The Marvelous Wonderettes." Accolades for her work include the 2008 Barrymore Award for the Greater Philadelphia area.

Besides her stage work, Sisko has appeared in a supporting role on the television program "The Education of Max Bickford." She is a member of the Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

A member of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority at Wagner, she has fond memories of being students of both President Richard Guarasci and Lauri Young, professor of theater, who encouraged her to be curious and continue to learn and grow as a person and a performer.

She is married to Anthony Sisko, a fellow member of Wagner's Class of 2002.
