Volk attended Lowell High School in San Francisco.[3] Through high school, she acted in school plays and further explored her burgeoning love for film which she claims helped her and her family acclimatize to American English and culture.[4] In 2005, she won the SFUSD High School Poet Laureate award.[5] After high school, Volk attended Duke University, where she graduated with a degree in psychology on a pre-medical track.[2] During college, she acted in student films and was a member of Inside Joke, Duke's sketch comedy troupe.[2]
In 2013 Volk was cast in the pilot for the MTV comedy series Faking It, playing Amy, one of the series' lead roles;[6] MTV ordered Faking It to series in October 2013.[7] For Faking It, Volk originally tried out for the role of co-lead Karma, not Amy.[8] In 2015 she joined the cast of the dramedy film Almost Friends.[9] She also appears in the John Carpenter-directed 2017 music video for the theme to his earlier film, Christine.
