Aja spent her childhood in Walnut, California; from an early age she desired to become an actress and once she finished her high school, enrolled at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from which she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting degree, and then furthered her acting studies at Yale University’s School of Drama, from which she received a Master of Fine Arts. While at the University, Aja honed her acting skills by appearing in such productions as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes”, and “Little Shop of Horrors”, among others.

Her professional career started with minor roles in short films, such as “A Basketball Jones”, and “Eve”, both in 2010, while in 2011 she featured in the romantic comedy film “Damsels in Distress”, starring Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody and Analeigh Tipton. In 2012, Aja starred in the romantic drama film “Four”, next to E.J. Bonilla and Emory Cohen, which earned her a Jury Prize for Outstanding Performance at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The same year, Aja featured in the short-lived romantic drama series “Emily Owens M.D.”, while in 2013 she starred in the television comedy film “Onion News Empire”, alongside Jeffrey Tambor and Christopher Masterson, which increased her net worth and popularity.

The following year came Aja’s big breakthrough, when she was chosen for the part of Michaela Pratt, one of the main female protagonists in the highly-acclaimed TV crime-drama mystery series “How to Get Away with Murder” (2014-2018), which in 2015 earned her an Image Award nomination in the category for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. The role increased her net worth by a large margin, and propelled her to stardom. She continued to search for new roles while on the set of the Golden Globe Award-nominated series, and thanks to her appreciated work, Aja secured several successful roles, such as the lead role in the sci-fi thriller “Reversion”, then a supporting role in the historical drama about Nat Turner, entitled “The Birth of a Nation”, featuring Nate Parker, Armie Hammer and Penelope Ann Miller in the lead roles. Most recently, Aja appeared in the comedy-drama film “The Upside” (2017) and is currently working on the drama film “A Girl from Mogadishu”, in which she will portray the lead character, Ifrah Ahmed. The film is scheduled for release later this year.

When it comes to her personal life, according to sources, Aja has been in a relationship with Alfred Enoch since 2015.
