A defining moment: playing Dr. Van Brandt in Daniela Forever, a TIFF-nominated film. Fluent in 4 languages, with a background in combat sports and dance, I bring physical precision and emotional range to both action and character-driven roles across genres. I’ve collaborated with BAFTA winner Gbemisola Ikumelo as a movement director. I'm drawn to bold storytelling and stories that truly matter. I also wrote and starred in A Walk-In (post-prod), a surreal sci-fi film. Trained in Lecoq, Chubbuck, Krav Maga, and firearms, I bring global experience and dynamic physicality to screen roles.
