About me

View profile
I was born and raised in Gullestrup, a very small city outside of Herning in the Danish countryside.
At the age of 15 I attended a Language school in Bournemouth, UK, it was my first time out on my own, and I fell madly in love with a Hungarian guy called Adam, who sadly never returned my feelings.
At the age of 18, I went to Melbourne, Australia, to attend year 12 at Lauriston Girls School - and to meet Kangaroos.
After finishing High School, I went back to Melbourne to study at Melbourne Acting School, it was here I 'discovered' the Meisner-technique, a technique I have worked with ever since.
In Australia I also had my first Scuba Dive experience. I started at the top by taking my license at The Great Barrier Reef. Since then I´ve been a passionate diver, I have dived all over Asia, in Africa and also in Denmark, which I wouldn’t recommend anyone unless they really like swimming in cold water with ridiculously low visibility. 
Returning from Melbourne, I moved to Copenhagen, but after a few years, I was longing for another adventure and went to Hong Kong to study Drama and Film at Chinese University of Hong Kong. I experienced a typhoon, learned to appreciate elevators and saw most of Asia as well as learning a great deal about myself and my craft.
I finished my courses in Hong Kong and moved to Berlin, where I fell in love with the city’s relaxed lifestyle and learned to speak fluent German.
At the moment, I still work all over Europe, but mainly in Germany. I still enjoy skiing, diving and all other kind of water sports (it doesn’t really matter if the water is frozen or not), however after the birth of my two young daughters, Karla and Bjørg, time has been limited. I hope they´ll share my passion in time, until then, sandcastles and sledging are top activities.
If I were no longer able to pursue acting, I would consider working in a nursing home for wounded urchins, because I feel bad about how many urchins my dog has accidentally hurt throughout the years.
