About me

View profile
I am an Estonian actress with a strong theatre background and experience in film and television. I feel drawn to psychologically layered characters and stories that explore inner conflict.

I trained at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (BA, MA, PhD) and also studied at Rose Bruford College in London. My doctoral research focused on the actor’s voice and the connection between inner imagery and expression. This has shaped my approach to acting — I build characters from inner impulse, breath, and emotional logic.

I began my professional career at Vanemuine Theatre and have since worked as a freelance actress with several leading Estonian theatres. Playing Blanche DuBois in “A Streetcar Named Desire” (Ugala, 2023) was an important milestone for me and was recognised with Ugala Theatre’s Colleagues’ Award for Outstanding Female Role.

Alongside acting, I work as a voice and speech coach. This keeps my work precise and attentive to nuance, language, and emotional detail. I am a native Estonian speaker and work fluently in English.
