About me

View profile
My name is J’enna Laila Hawasli, and I am a 20-year-old international actress trained in film, television, and theatre. I am a dedicated, hardworking performer with professional experience acting in commercials and short films, as well as extensive training across multiple disciplines. I am passionate about telling meaningful stories that connect with and inspire audiences. 

I began studying musical theatre acting at the age of eight and was introduced to the professional industry through the Premiere Program in fifth grade. Since then, I have worked on sets in various acting roles, gaining hands-on experience while continuing to develop my craft. I am certified in Acting by Trinity College London and graduated with an International Baccalaureate Diploma, completing Higher Level Theatre. 

I approach every role with a strong commitment to authenticity, emotional truth, and collaboration. Acting has been my passion from a young age, and I believe film is a mirror of our society — a powerful tool for storytelling that allows us to communicate ideas, emotions, and messages through the screen.
