About me
View profile
Versatility and depth are my elements. From energetic and outspoken to quiet, unsettling or highly focused, I adapt roles with precision and let them feel organic – without overacting. Clear directing notes are something I implement quickly and reliably.

A character that has deeply influenced me is Crazy Eyes from Orange Is the New Black. Her development and the powerful impact of her subtle facial expression, physicality and pauses truly impressed me. This is the kind of presence that fascinates me: when depth emerges through restraint. It’s something I actively pursue – and something I know I can deliver.

Through many years of live stage experience in theatre, stand-up and music, combined with my state-certified acting training, I bring a strong sense of timing, rhythm and impact. The stage has given me presence; the camera asks for reduction and precision.

I work focused, ensemble-minded and process-oriented. Reality TV is not my field – film, series, streaming and theatre are.
