About me

View profile
I was born and raised in a small village in Upper Austria where dreams and visions beyond what is considered "reasonable" and "traditional" were often not welcomed. From a young age, I was faszinated by acting and the filmmaking industry as a whole. However, I was pushed into the conventional path of an economic career, a decision that never truly felt right. At the same time, I know that it is never too late to think big and chase after your dreams.

In 2018, I took my first steps toward my passion by auditioning for short spots, commercials and landed my first small roles. Over the years, I have participated in a number of projects. The experiences made during my latest projects (campaign spots and image spots for which I landed the main characters) were the ultimate motivation for me to continue doing what feels right. I have done a Camera Acting Course at Film School Vienna and am now dedicated more than ever to take it to the next level. My dream remains unchanged: to be an actor for TV and Cinema.
