About me

View profile
Trained at La Manufacture in Lausanne, what moves me today as an actress is vulnerability. Not as weakness, but as a place of openness where something deeply human can emerge. I am drawn to what lies beneath words, in glances, in silences, in the unspoken. I search for ways to give shape to the invisible, to make visible what is silenced by modesty, fear, or hidden under constraint.

I am attracted to roles that unsettle and transform, that require stepping beyond comfort, crossing something challenging, and discovering beauty even within chaos.

I believe acting is a way of connecting, of allowing something to flow between oneself, the other, and the world. Of bridging the intimate and the universal: turning fragility into strength, simplicity into greatness, the ordinary into something sacred. For me, it is also a way of honoring those who came before me, of carrying forward an invisible thread.

What I seek are moments of truth, sometimes fragile, sometimes electric, when everything aligns and becomes fully alive.
