About me
View profile

With over a decade of experience on stage and screen, I’ve played everything from bold, experimental leads to awkward comedic sidekicks, often being cast as the bubbly, kind of weird, girl next door — a type that comes naturally.

The bones of my work are rooted in my South African, Swiss, and Irish heritage.
Growing up between cultures gave me a natural grasp of the unspoken tensions and rhythms that shape how people relate to one another.

I work instinctively, collaboratively, and always in service of story.
