I am a Helsinki based actor and graduated from the Theater Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki in 2020. My most prominent appearances so far have been in the streaming service C More’s Nokia -series, Mobile 101 (or Made in Finland), Yellow Film's movie about the Finnish rock band Dingo, Levoton Tuhkimo, and the internationally acclaimed short film, Primal Therapy. In Theatre I have worked in the Helsinki, Vaasa and Seinäjoki City theaters and Hamburg’s own Thalia Theater.

With a background in dance and sword fighting, I'm physically talented and a great match for roles requiring physical ability. I speak English on a near native level with a native sounding american accent, and pick up new accents quite fast. I also play the guitar and my singing range is baritone. Besides acting, I also write and direct comedy. My latest piece, a philosophical dark comedy, The Punchline – Fear of Death and Some Light Cannibalism, premiered in Theater Jurkka in 2021 to outstanding reviews.

At the moment I am most interested in working on camera, whether it be in English or Finnish. My biggest strengths are an understanding of the rhythm of comedy and dialogue, my physical ability and the English language.
